Abstract:
The incompatibility of Chinese materia medica (CMM) has always been one of the important scientific issues of CMM safety research. Extensive researches about CMM incompatibility have been carried out represented by "eighteen-antagonisms", mainly focused on the safety evaluation, toxic effects of substances, toxicology, toxicokinetics, drug interactions, toxicity mechanisms, etc. However, due to lack of system design on research ideas, model and methods, many key issues still lacked reliable conclusions, and did not reach a consensus within the industry. We completed the toxicity-effect characterization of the anti-drugs about "Pinelliae Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Fructus, Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus, Ampelopsis Radix, and Bletillae Rhizoma attack Aconiti Radix" and proposed that the serious adverse reactions caused by related anti-drug combination therapy were because of the "toxicity" of CMM incompatibility. The formation of CMM incompatibility was closely related to its composition, dose, compatibility environment, etc, wherein the disease and symptom are the key factors of incompatibility. Eventually, the research model of toxicity-effect characterization of CMM incompatibility based on the desease and symptom was formed, it was viable to provide new strategies and methods for the clinical drug safety of CMM compatibility.
