The vast territory of the Tibetan Plateau and the complex dynamic natural conditions have contributed to its diverse flora and fauna resources.
Historically, the Tibetan region is a large treasure trove of Chinese medicinal plants. According to preliminary statistics, more than a thousand kinds of wild medicinal plant resources can be found in the Tibetan region. For instance, Cordyceps (Dong Chong Xia Cao), Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus (Chuan Bei Mu), notoginseng (Tian Qi), Gastrodiae Rhizoma (Tian Ma), Ganoderma lucidum (Ling Zhi) are valuable medicinal materials that sells worldwide; Cephalotaxus hainanensis (Hai Nan Cu Fei), Taxus Chinensis (Hong Dou Shan), Dysosma versipallis rhizome (Gui Jiu), Dysosma versipellis (Ba Jiao Lian), Arnebia euchroma (Ruan Zi Cao), Sageretia Gracilis (Xian Xi Que Mei Teng), Lilium brownie (Ye Bai He) are plants with development potential; and the Library includes other common traditional mecinal herbs like Amomum Villosum (Sha Ren), Uncaria Rhynchophylla (Gou Teng), Gentiana Macrophylla (Qin Jiao), Tree Peony Bark (Dan Pi), Papaya, Rhizoma Paridis (Zhong Lou), Ephedra (Ma Huang), Semen Persicae (Tao Ren), Coptis (Huang Lian), Bupleurum (Chai Hu), Chinese Angelica Root (Dang Gui), Astragalus (Huang Qi), Gentiana scabra (Long Dan), Codonopsis pilosula (Dang Shen), Aconitum (Wu Tou), Rhubarb (Da Huang), Barberry Root (San Gen Zhen), Snow Lotus Herb (Xue Lian Hua), Schisandra Chinensis (Wu Wei Zi) etc.
Tibetan medicine has a long history of profound sophistication. In order to facilitate researchers to study the mechanism of action of active ingredients in Tibetan medicine and conduct related drug development, we have collected a total of 754 natural product molecules derived from dozens of Tibetan medicines. The sources include Cordyceps, Rhodiola, Saffron, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Ganoderma and other precious herbs, which can be used for high-throughput and high-content screening.
