This book introduces the methodology for collection and
identification of herbal materials, extraction and isolation of
compounds from herbs, in vitro bioassay, in vivo
animal test, toxicology, and clinical trials of herbal research. To
fully understand and make the best use of herbal medicines requires
the close combination of chemistry, biochemistry, biology,
pharmacology, and clinical science. Although there are many books
about traditional medicines research, they mostly focus on either
chemical or pharmacological study results of certain plants. This
book, however, covers the systematic study and analysis of herbal
medicines in general – including chemical isolation and
identification, bioassay and mechanism study, pharmacological
experiment, and quality control of the raw plant material and end
products.
