摘要
Metabolomics is a newly developed discipline following genomics,transcriptomics,and proteomics.It is based on the theory of systems biology,supported by modern spectroscopy analysis technology and is analyzed by the external stimulation of organisms.By analyzing the overall changes of metabolites with low molecular weight in organism after being stimulated by the outside world,we can understand the physiological and pathological state of organism,and finally clarify the essence of biological changes of organism.In recent years,metabolomics has developed rapidly.It has been widely used in early toxicity screening of lead compounds,preclinical toxicity of drugs and toxicity evaluation of clinical drugs.The in-depth interpretation of metabolomics results is also developing.This article reviewed the progress of metabolomics technology and its application in the study of toxicity evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine.
