Regulatory Science of Quantity Control and Evaluation of Compound Preparations of Traditional Chinese Medicine
The core of quality control of compound preparations of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)lies in quality transfer,which refers to the transfer process of medicinal substances with controllable quantity or quality from decoction pieces,extracts,intermediates,to preparations in the production process of TCM preparations.The purpose is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of TCM by quality control throughout the whole chain.Based on the current status of TCM quality control and evaluation research,as well as regulatory challenges,this paper dis-cussed the new regulatory methods of quality control and evaluation in line with the characteristics of TCM.The paper investigated the prac-tice case of transforming ancient famous prescriptions into new drugs and put forward the application prospect of establishing new tools,new standards,and new methods for quality evaluation of compound preparations in line with the characteristics of TCM in the quality control and production practice of TCM compound preparations.The results can provide a reference for promoting the quality controllability and safety reg-ulatory of TCM by TCM regulatory science and solving the basic and key problems in TCM quality regulatory.
