研究方向和领域

主要研究领域包括中药活性成分及药效评价研究，中药新药开发以及中药质量控制分析方法研究等。重点进行病毒、肿瘤、耐药菌及糖尿病等重大疾病的中药防治与药效评价研究，阐明中药药效物质基础及作用机制，研发具有自主知识产权的创新药物。

(1)  抗病毒及抗耐药菌中药药理机制研究
从事中药及其活性成分抗病毒及抗耐药菌药理作用机制研究。已建立抗病毒（HSV和EV71）筛选平台及基于MgrA靶标蛋白荧光探针的高通量筛选体系，致力于阐明中药抗病毒和抗金黄色葡萄球菌耐药菌活性物质基础，揭示其药效作用机制，发现活性强、毒性小、选择性高的先导化合物。
(2)  抗肿瘤中药药理作用机制研究
从事中药及其活性成分抗肿瘤药理作用机制研究。已建立分子、细胞及动物水平的抗肿瘤药物筛选及药效评价模型，重点开展肝癌、前列腺癌及胰腺癌的体内外药效筛选和药效评价，致力于从中草药和天然产物中寻找抗肿瘤先导化合物，阐明其诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡、调节自噬、抑制转移及防止复发等药效作用机制。近年来重点开展中国产藤黄属植物中具有抗肿瘤活性的PPAPs类和Xanthones类成分的鉴定及其作用机制研究。
