| Abstract
|
| In recent years, it takes longer period to develop new medicine. The rate of new candidate medicine transforming into clinical effective medicine is also decreased dramatically. It is an urgent problem to be solved to understand the mechanisms of medicine in a new prospective and to develop new medicine using new methods. The difference between network pharmacology and traditional pharmacology is that network pharmacology explains the progression and development of the disease from the angle of biological network balance and system biology. Network pharmacology also tries to understand the interaction between medicine and our body from the perspective that how to improve or recovery the equilibrium of biological network and to guide the discovery of new drugs. |
