title: Highlights of drug metabolism research in China.
abstract: In the past 30 years, the study of drug metabolism in China has followed a zigzag path, from the initial uprising stage to devastation, and then to regeneration. In the reviving decade of 1976-1985, studies have extended to various aspects of the field of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. There are rapid increases both in modern facilities and trained personnel. Therefore, it is expected that in the coming decade drug metabolism research in China will be carried out at much higher levels with more interesting results.
