Herb List (Materia Medica)
A curated materia medica of 3,340 indexed botanical entries, searchable by English common name. Each record resolves to its authenticated Latin binomial, plant part used, documented traditional use, and potential therapeutic indication.
This database anchors botanical identity and prior-use claims to authenticated nomenclature, reducing the misidentification and adulteration risks that most frequently trigger FDA deficiencies at the raw-material level.
Prescription Formula (Materia Medica)
The most comprehensive classical formula compendium with 46,929 indexed prescriptions searchable by pinyin name. Each entry returns full herb composition and primary-source citations in the original language.
Prior human use is the central pillar of the botanical IND pathway, permitting potential deferral of nonclinical studies and supporting initial dose justification. Original-language source citations convert traditional combinations into defensible, traceable evidence to substantiate safety history and formulation rationale.
Botanical Reference Standards
Over 6,482 botanical reference standards, a foundational resource for botanical product quality control. Searchable by product name or CAS number, each record specifies product identity, CAS number, purity, and available quantity.
Chemical fingerprinting and marker-compound quantitation are non-negotiable CMC requirements. Reliable access to qualified standards is the prerequisite for the multi-marker characterization, method validation, and specification.
