title: [Analysis and thinking on status of constituent library of traditional Chinese Medicines in China].
abstract: Natural products from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are one of the important sources for drug discovery. Systematic investigation on chemical constituents of TCMs plays one key role in TCMs R & D. Research and development on the constituent library of TCMs including the constituent repository and database (eCL-TCMs) is significant for the modernization of TCMs and new drug R & D. This paper reviews the status of current compound libraries and databases in China, analyzes some key problems, and proposes the necessity and ideas of the running eCL-TCMs supported by the National New Drug Innovation Great Project of China (2011ZX09307-002-02). The eCL-TCMs are large-scale, high-quality, comprehensive, standard, open-access, and are integrated with quality control system, drug screening and discovery platforms.
