Network-based TCM Pharmacology Jing Zhao Modern Research Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine Second Military Medical University Shanghai, China Jan. 14, 2010 Sino-German Workshop on Computational systems biology approaches for cancer research and biomarker discovery
Characteristics of the TCM • Long history • Efficacy and safety for complex chronic diseases • Complicated mechanisms
Complicated mechanisms of TCM • Holistic, complementary, synergic • Multi-component, multi-target, multi-dimensional pharmacology Pharmacology & Therapeutics 2000, 86:191-198

TCM databases • The TCM database • The 3D structure database of components from Chinese traditional medicinal herbs • Traditional Chinese Medicine Information Database (TCMID ) In our laboratory: • Large scale Natural Product Library (both virtual and material) • ~ 120 TCM herbs • ~ 5000 compounds , ~ 500 new compounds
Techniques usually applied to isolate active components from TCM • Thin layer chromatography (TLC) • Column chromatography (CC) • Medium Pressure Liquid Chromatography (MPLC) • High Pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) • High-speed countercurrent chromatography(HSCCC) • Macroporous adsorptive resins (MAR) • Molecular imprinting technique (MIT)
Compounds isolated from TCM materials that are also drugs approved by the FDA.
