The “compatible art” of effective components from traditional Chinese medicine: research on the compatibility and proportion of effective components

The compatibility of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) includes the compatibility of single herb, effective parts and the effective ingredients of TCM herbs. Compared with the compatibility of Chinese herbal medicine, the compatibility between effective parts and effective ingredients of TCM has become a breakthrough point in the study of compatibility. It provides a new method for precise medication research of TCM, which is bound to become an important driving force in the process of precision medicine research. In this paper, we elabo rate the strategy of the compatibility and proportion in TCM components from five aspects:the compatibility mode of effective components in TCM, the screening method of compatibility of components in TCM, the selection of compatibility component dose, the design method of proportion test and the optimization research of compatibility and proportion.
