Abstract:
Decoction pieces are the crude materials of Chinese medicinal granule, herbal decoction, and Chinese patent medicine. Its quality directly affects the quality of the three major traditional Chinese medicine products. As the intermediate link of "traditional Chinese medicinal materials-Decoction pieces-Chinese patent medicine" industry chain, the quality is very important. However, the quality control of Chinese materia medica (CMM) products has been dominated by traditional Chinese medicinal materials in recent decades. Though the quality control of Chinese herbal pieces is paid gradually more attention in the industry, it still can not reflect its own characteristics. The lack of scientificity, effectiveness, and rationality seriously affects the healthy development of CMM industry. Academician Chang-xiao Liu first proposed the new concept of "quality marker of CMM" in 2016, which caused a strong reaction. This paper reviewed and analyzed the current situation of the quality standard of CMM industry in detail, combined the research approach of "quality marker of CMM" with the characteristics of decoction pieces, in order to form the new idea of "quality marker of decoction pieces". The purpose is to stimulate thinking and resonance of the experts in the field of Chinese herbal pieces, to promote the improvement of quality control methods of Chinese herbal pieces, and to ensure the rapid development of CMM products industry.
