More recently, it has been gradually recognized that natural chemical drugs often exhibit higher therapeutic efficacy and lower toxicities than synthetic drugs in most disease managements and therapeutics. After this discovery, growing attentions have been focused on this type of drug development chain updating worldwide. Yet, these kinds of pharmacological efforts still like finding a needle from hay-stakes owing to drug screening system limitations globally. As a result, higher efficient drug screening routines must be established-including new generations of experimental models, quick plant chemical discovery processes structurally and extractive quality, revisit from ancient wisdoms, especially from traditional Chinese medicine. This article addresses this matter in detail and future perspectives.
