基于体内过程的中药有效成分和有效效应物质的发现策略

中药是在中医药理论指导下使用的药物,其来源以植物药为主,其次是动物药、矿物药,还有小部分是化学药和生物制品。由于中药生物来源的多样性、生态环境的多样性、化学物质结构的多样性、炮制方法的多样性、代谢途径的多样性以及生物活性的多样性和临床应用的多样性,构成了一个庞大的复杂系统,蕴涵着许多科学问题。解析这个复杂系统的基础科学问题是其有效成分和有效效应物质的阐明。伴随中药代谢的研究进展和新兴学科代谢组学的出现,形成了“基于体内过程的中药有效成分和有效效应物质的发现策略”,其将为中药复杂体系的研究提供新的方法和途径。

Discovery strategy for effective and active constituents of Chinese material medica based on processes of metabolism and disposition in intra-body

Chinese material medica is the natural therapeutic agent used under the guidance of the theories of traditional Chinese medicine. Its sources are mainly derive from plants, some derive from animals and minerals, and a few derive from chemical drugs and biologic products. It was made up into a colossal complexed system because it's diversity of biological sources, ecological environments, chemical structures, processing methods, processes of metabolism and disposition in intra-body, biological activity and clinical use, and involved a lot of scientific problems. The elucidation of the effective and active constituents is a basic and scientific problem to clarify complexed system of Chinese material medica. Along with research progressing of processes of metabolism and disposition of Chinese material medica in intra-body and metabonomics, a new and rapid-developing technology, the discovery strategy for effective and active constituents of Chinese material medica based on the processes of metabolism and disposition would be made up, which will provide a new methodology and pathway to clarify of complexed system of Chinese material medica.
