A New Strategy for Deleting Animal drugs from Traditional Chinese Medicines based on Modified Yimusake Formula

Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as Uyghur Medicine (UM) has been used in clinical treatment for many years. TCM is featured as multiple targets and complex mechanisms of action, which is normally a combination of medicinal herbs and sometimes even contains certain rare animal medic...
