Common Network Pharmacology Databases

2021 
Network pharmacology research is set against the background of vast biological databases and artificial intelligence. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) involves ancient manuscripts, documents, and innumerable prescriptions belonging to various dynasties. Modern research implements many prescriptions or Chinese medicinal resources for ingredient separation method and analysis, especially in contemporary molecular pharmacological research. This implementation has taken place due to the fact that TCM in itself serves as a huge holistic database and currently aids in systematically sorting out a number of authoritative databases. Majority of these databases are predicated on the ingredients suggested by TCM compound prescriptions or medicinal resources; the association between TCM and the diseases or syndromes is established by employing network pharmacology to potential drug targets. These databases provide valuable input and resources, which are not only instrumental for the comprehension of the TCM treatment mechanism for diseases but also strengthen the understanding of TCM theories.
