Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Serum pharmacological methods have been used to evaluate the efficacy and related mechanisms of complex drug ingredients, especially Chinese herbal compounds, which promote the ongoing development of pharmacodynamics and serum pharmacological technologies.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the serum pharmacological methods applied in various fields, and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages.
METHODS: A computer-based retrieval of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed for the articles related to serum pharmacology published from January 2012 to June 2017 with the keywords of “serum pharmacology, medicated serum, drug-containing serum” in English and Chinese, respectively. Totally 2 977 articles were collected and finally 58 eligible ones were included for result analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: As serum pharmacology can reflect the efficacy and indications of medicines, and is helpful to study the effective compositions and in vivo course, it has been extensively used in various studies. In recent years, the studies on optimizing the serum donators, dosage, frequency, serum collection, serum storage and administration have achieved significant outcomes in the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, skeletal system, urinary system, reproductive system, immune system, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral treatments. Moreover, it is accompanied by the development of pharmacology, pharmacodynamics as well as new drug discovery.
