Introduction
TM-MC 2.0 provides the largest collection of information about chemical compounds of medicinal materials listed in the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese pharmacopoeias. The information on chemical compounds of medicinal materials was manually extracted and curated from chromatographic articles in PubMed. All compounds have been identified and de-duplicated, and are given with their corresponding identifiers and pharmacokinetic properties. TM-MC 2.0 also includes new information on prescriptions, gene targets, modern diseases, and their associations.
Updates
  • 2024. 1. 16.
    • - TM-MC 2.0 has been published in BMC Complement Med Ther 24, 40. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-023-04331-y.
    - Because TM-MC is constantly being updated, the number of compounds and targets may increase or decrease.
    - We plan to upload the updated database to the TM-MC 2.0 homepage once a month.
    - TM-MC identifies chemical structures through a comprehensive review of reference papers, the PubChem database, and internet searches, and does not rely on any specific external databases.
    - Some medicinal materials have many volatile compounds because they have data from GC-MS analysis papers, but they may need to be excluded for analysis.
