Abstract:
The systematic approaches of metabonomics are similar to the essential attribution in concept of the wholism for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories. The metabonomics had been progressively utilized to study the TCM theories, such as "ZHENG" (synelromes), or the systematic mechanism of Chinese materia medica (CMM) and its formulae by animal models, and toxicology in recent years. These studies almost focused on the responeses of endogenous metabonome to biological stimuli or genetic manipulation (pharmacodynamics and toxicology) by TCM theory of "ZHENG", while less involved the precess of formulae itself and its dynamic changes (pharmacokinetics) by TCM theory of "FANG". The "treatment by differentiating syndrome" and "Correspondence of FANG-ZHANG" is the quintessence of TCM theories. Consequently, in this idea, the application of PK-PD methods based on metabonomics and "FANG-ZHENG correspondence" to investigating the compatibility of the formulae in TCM theory is discussed in this paper.
