RESUMO
Compound prescription of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), the main form in prevention and treatment of diseases in TCM, has unique advantages in medical practice. New TCM drugs for certain syndromes serve as an important carrier of inheritance and innovation in TCM. The research and development of new TCM drugs for certain syndromes should be based on the theory of TCM, guided by clinical value, and based on the principle of quality, safety and effectiveness. Through the innovative understanding of disease development rules, clinicians carry out academic theory innovation to guide clinical practice, aiming to effectively promote academic innovation and the development of new TCM drugs for certain syndromes. In this paper, we expounded some understanding of the innovation system of TCM, and analyzed the research value of new TCM drugs for certain syndromes. Based on theoretical innovation, the overall research model was preliminarily put forward. Subsequently, a concrete discussion from three aspects, including pharmaco-logy and toxicology, pharmacy and clinic research, was made on the specific process and existing problems of new drug research and development of TCM. Our research group attempts to establish a new drug innovation ecosystem for TCM syndrome, with the purpose of providing reference for other researchers.
