Enhancing active ingredient biosynthesis in Chinese herbal medicine: biotechnological strategies and molecular mechanisms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is a fundamental component of traditional Chinese medical practice, offering a rich source of natural remedies with significant therapeutic potential. However, the scarcity of active ingredients and complex extraction procedures present substantial challenges to their widespread clinical application. This review aims to address this gap by exploring the potential of modern biotechnological advancements in enhancing the biosynthesis of these valuable compounds.

Methodology

The study takes a comprehensive approach, delving into the chemical composition of CHM's active ingredients and elucidating their biosynthetic pathways and molecular regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, it surveys recent progress in extraction methodologies and evalu
