Synopsis: Volume IV of this manual provides an overview of the analytical investigation of numerous additional Chinese Herbal Drugs, which are most commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The detailed chromatographic analysis of the main compounds is illustrated in coloured TLC-photographs and HPLC-peak profiles. Further bioactive properties, pharmacological and biological activities of all single herbal drugs, as well as their therapeutic applications are discussed. Together with Volumes I - III this current volume represents the most comprehensive overview to analytical studies of those herbal drugs on the market and therefore serves as a must-have manual for researchers and laboratories dedicated to TCM. The quality proof of the investigation meets the standard of the European Drug Regulatory Authority.
