Introduction

We search for materials derived from natural resources, folk medicines, pharmaceutical foods, western herbs, and spices, using pharmacological evaluation techniques that are based on traditional efficacies or usages.

We also apply the analysis of structure-activity relationships including the mode action of active ingredients to elucidate target molecules by designing molecular proves.
