| Abstract
|
| The theory of meridian tropism in traditional Chinese medicine is an important component of the theory of medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine. It explains the key areas of action of drugs and is one of the guiding theories for traditional Chinese medicine to recognize and use traditional Chinese medicine. It is also a focus of modern research on traditional Chinese medicine. The article reviews the historical evolution and contemporary research progress of the theory of meridian tropism，and finds that contemporary meridian tropism research is mainly based on experiments，exploring pharmacological effects，active ingredients，trace elements，receptor theory，cyclic nucleotide changes，supramolecular chemistry，gene expression levels，systems biology，network pharmacology，molecular thermodynamics，in order to provide ideas for further research on meridian tropism theory. |
