Features: The book "Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Component Metabolism" was compiled under the historical context of the release of China's "Development Strategy for the Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine" and "Development Outline for the Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine" (2002-2010). Based on a comprehensive study and analysis of major disciplinary issues in the complex system of traditional Chinese medicine and the key scientific challenges in the ongoing modernization process, the authors systematically summarized the research achievements of their research group and the latest developments in related fields both domestically and internationally. The book primarily consists of two parts: The general part provides a concise introduction to the significance of studying the biotransformation and/or metabolism of traditional Chinese medicine component structures, the biological basis, research models, and analytical methods for such processes. The specific part mainly introduces the biotransformation and/or metabolism of representative component structures of certain traditional Chinese medicines, including their sources, chemical names, synonyms, English names, structural formulas, molecular formulas, and relative molecular weights, as well as their intestinal bacterial transformation, in vivo metabolism, chemical structure data, biological activities, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and in vivo distribution and pharmacokinetics. The book is rich in content, well-illustrated, and highly scientific, making it a valuable reference for researchers actively engaged in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine and for a broad audience of practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and developers of integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
