Abstract :
According to the mechanism clarification problem of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a systems biology platform was constructed using the related achievements as the basis, entity grammar systems as the framework and database construction, data mining, qualitative reasoning as the kernel techniques. This platform is composed of TCM active components database, TCM prescription database, drug targets database, biological molecular interaction network database, reasoning engine and user interface. After the TCM prescription is selected, the mechanism model can be generated automatically by the platform, which can be used to further study of TCM. This work will contribute to the modernization of Chinese medicine.
