To study the material basis of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is the basis of modernization of CMM. Recently, along with the development of modern analytical methods and separation technologies, material basis research of CMM has achieved great progress, and new strategies and approaches are emerging. In order to promote the material basis research of CMM and the discovery of leading compounds and novel drugs stemmed from CMM and natural products, the present review summarized the current strategies and approaches on the material basis research of CMM. Especially, new strategies and approaches, including rapid separation technology based on two dimensional high-throughput preparative liquid chromatography (2D-pHPLC), rapid identification and high efficient preparation technologies based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-database and preparative HPLC (LC-MS-DS/ pHPLC), and new methods and technologies for material basis research, such as CMM components research and database construction based on LC-DAD-MSⁿ were emphatically introduced.
