According to research results of the lipid-lowering Chinese medicine at home and abroad in recent years, the paper will elaborate on the research status of the antihyperlipidemia effects of chinese medicine from the aspects of its vitro screening model, effective monomer, compounding, single medicine and antihyperlipidemia traditional Chinese medicine patent prescription. Put the ideas of development and use on the antihyperlipidemia effects of chinese medicine effective monomer and components medicine compatibility, emphasize on through new medicine screening cell model to find the antihyperlipidemia effects of chinese medicine monomer and antihyperlipidemia mechanism, breakthrough the single mode to use the accumulate of experience in clinical research as the development of new drugs. Study against the changes of the single-ingredient fixed component, the modify of the effective components combination of different drugs, the component compatibility of the different pathological link and the properties of the effective monomer, accelerate the theoretical innovation about the combination of effective medicine monomer, improve the research levels of the medicine combination from pieces to component, make the action target, link, and mechanism of herbal pharmacology more clear, promote the new Chinese herbal research, the improvement of the clinical efficient and the theory innovation of traditional chinese medicine.
