Compound drugs, like traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions, are advancing drug development for complex diseases. This paper explores TCM compatibility theory for enhancing drug efficacy and reducing toxicity in component-based medicines.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Drug Development
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Background:

  • Single-target drugs show limitations for complex, multifactorial diseases.
  • Compound drugs, including cocktail therapies and polypills, represent a frontier in pharmaceutical innovation.
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) prescriptions, comprising multiple herbs, exemplify compound medicines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the theory and methods of efficacy-oriented compatibility for developing component-based Chinese medicines.
  • To bridge the gap between traditional TCM compatibility principles and modern scientific understanding.
  • To highlight the potential of TCM compatibility in optimizing therapeutic outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compatibility principles.
