Metabonomics and the Research of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Abstract:

Metabolomics is another important branch of systems biology after genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics and a new kind of holistic analysis technology. As part of Metabolomics is another important branch of systems biology after genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics and a new kind of holistic analysis technology. As part of system biology, the core of metabolomics is qualitative and quantitative analysis of all small molecule metabolites in a cell or biological system at specific time and conditions. The field of metabolomics study covers the diagnosis, nutrition, microbiology, environmental science, mechanism of drug action, toxicology and other aspects of botany. The metabolomics study of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) mainly focus on the safety evaluation of drugs, efficacy mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine, the variety and the quality control of Chinese medicine resources and so on. This paper provides an overview of metabolomics study of TCM.
