Abstract:
In recent years, with the rapid development of Chinese materia medica (CMM) industry, its clinical applications have become more and more widespread. While, adverse reactions of CMM have also become increasingly prominent. However, for adverse reactions of some CMM, the applications of conventional toxicology studies cannot draw definitive conclusions. These CMM, which were not defined as toxic drugs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories, have unknown potential toxicities and affect the safety in their clinical use. This paper reviewed recent advances in studies on potential toxicity of non-toxic CMM. It analyzed and summarized potential toxic compounds among them, and introduced application for metabolomics researches on potential toxicities in non-toxic CMM.
