After the successful introduction of acupuncture to the West, recent advances in analytical methods in chemistry, molecular biology and system biology – especially the development of the “omic” technologies – have again brought Chinese drugs into the focus of research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With more than 1000 publications on the chemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology of TCM drugs in international journals over the last 10 years, Chinese drugs are gaining increasingly reputation and impact. These data offer great opportunities for the development of new pharmaceuticals for various clinical applications. International Scientists have compiled relevant and trend setting research results in this book. Topics range from the latest methods of quality and safety assurance by chemical and genetic fingerprints to the development of new pharmaceuticals for a future evidence-based therapy e.g. for cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory or infectious diseases as well as to recent experimental results on multitarget and synergy research for the preparation of multi-extract-pharmaceuticals from TCM.

Volume IV of this manual provides an overview of the analytical investigation of numerous additional Chinese Herbal Drugs, which are most commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The detailed chromatographic analysis of the main compounds is illustrated in coloured TLC-photographs and HPLC-peak profiles. Further bioactive properties, pharmacological and biological activities of all single herbal drugs, as well as their therapeutic applications are discussed. Together with Volumes I - III this current volume represents the most comprehensive overview to analytical studies of those herbal drugs on the market and therefore serves as a must-have manual for researchers and laboratories dedicated to TCM. The quality proof of the investigation meets the standard of the European Drug Regulatory Authority.

This manual, to be published in two volumes, provides a condensed overview of the analytical investigation of 80 Chinese Herbal Drugs which are most frequently in use. Thin layer chromatographic-, high pressure liquid chromatographic- and gas chromatographic-fingerprint analytical techniques allow the detection of all main low-molecular constituents of a plant drug and even single constituents can be visualized. Analytical results thereof are shown in numerous color figures. The quality proof of the investigation meets the standard of the European Drug Regulatory Authority. Furthermore, this volume gives a detailed description of the analytical methods used for several drugs. Bioactive constituents, pharmacological and biological activities of several single herbal drugs as well as their therapeutic applications are discussed.
