Cyberpharmacology uncover the mechanism of the total Rhizoma Coptidis extracts ameliorate chronic atrophic gastritis

Characterized by inflammation of the gastric mucosa, atrophy of gastric gland cells, and intestinal metaplasia, Chronic Atrophic Gastritis (CAG) is a precancerous lesion disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, Rhizoma Coptidis (RC) is extensively used for treating gastrointestinal disorders, mainly because RC alkaloids-based extracts are the main active pharmaceutical ingredients. Total Rhizoma Coptidis extracts (TRCE) is a mixture of Rhizoma Coptidis extracts from Rhizoma Coptidis with alkaloids as the main components. However, the efficacy and mechanism of TRCE on CAG need further study.
