After interacting with the gut bacteria, the biological effects of drugs might be altered, leading to toxicity or detoxification, production of potential bioactivities, regulating intestinal absorption, etc. In this review, we will focus on the metabolism of Chinese materia medica（CMM） in mammal gut microbiota and its biological effects to learn the interaction between gut bacteria and drugs through oral route in CMM.展开更多

Almost thirty active herb components attracted author＇s attention, especially, salvianolic acid B and oxymatrine which were investigated comprehensively. Moreover, the author considered that, in view of the complex I^athogenesis and the multi-pathway and multi-target superiority of Chinese medicine formula, the effective components ~ormula investigations deserve more attention and probably prompt a potential researching direction.展开更多
