Advances in research on the application of pharmaceutical excipients in traditional Chinese medicine preparations
Pharmaceutical excipients,as an indispensable part of drug preparation,play crucial roles as drug carriers,improving drug release,ensuring drug stability,and enhancing patient compliance.Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)boasts a rich developmental history.With the modernization of technology,the deep integration of pharmacy,chemistry,and materials science has provided broader opportunities for innovative research in TCM.Simultaneously,the demand for high-quality excipients has become increasingly critical.This paper aims to review current research and applications of excipients in TCM preparations,including pre-mixed and co-processed excipients,modified excipients,and the unification of drugs and excipients,such as flavoring agents,fillers,penetration enhancers,and delivery systems.A meticulous synthesis and analysis of existing research aims to provide a reference for selecting excipients in TCM preparations,stimulate innovation in excipient development for TCM,and advocate for the development of personalized excipients.
