When the traditional Chinese medicine decoct with water,The application of plant extract in modernization of traditional Chinese medicine Articles because of high temperature and complex chemical environments in solution, may be caused reaction between material complex, hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction reaction in solution, which generated solution had some new material, the new material on the whole produce synergism, attenuated toxin efficacy and other function. Therefore, for the mixed decoction’s pesticide effect was significantly higher than single decoction, and when it has a large number of new components , it will be preparing decocted extract compound.

As a traditional Chinese medicine preparation of raw material medicine: Chinese medicine and its compound is a complex system, have curative effect material foundation for many kinds of chemical constituents, including inorganic, organic compounds ( such as alkaloids, saponins etc.) and large biological molecules ( such as proteins, polysaccharides and so on ).

Plant extract with good physical traits, high enrich active substance ( such as ginkgo scale extract content is 50 times that of the raw materials ) can use modern preparation technology to make  Chinese traditional medicine preparations that the quality is not random, taking convenient. The first should be clear that single traditional Chinese medicine extract with different scale effect, according to Chinese medicine theory, in order to extract for the group unit, according to a certain proportion of prescription composition (i.e., with Chinese traditional medicine extract instead of Chinese herbal medicines), can be further explored in each scale extract secondary actions, establishment of dose-effect relationship. To extract compound scale, can be directly replace compound decoction clinical use drugs. This makes the yam preparations of pharmaceutical raw materials from the quality not stable raw material or pieces to a quality relatively controllable medicine scale extract, ensure product quality control of traditional Chinese medicine.

Internationally, extract is the important link and means of plant medicine application.
