天然药物活性成分的生物合成与生物转化

生物活性成分是中药防病治病的物质基础,也是中药现代化研究的重要内容之一。生物合成与生物转化以其公认的高效和高选择性的温和催化体系的特征正在中医药学等学科领域发挥着越来越重要的作用。探讨了天然药物活性成分的生物合成和生物转化与中药现代化的关系及其诸多应用(尤其中药和天然药物研究),并进行了探索性展望。

Biosynthesis and biotransformation of biological active constituents from natural medicines

Bioactive constituent is the substantial basis of treatment for various diseases by Chinese materia medica (CMM) and also one of the most important substances for the modernization of CMM. Biosynthesis and biotransformation are considered to be one of the mild systems in bio-catalysis with optimal efficiency and selectivity, which play more potential role in the field, such as traditional Chinese medicine. To review and discuss some applications of biosynthesis and biotransformation in the research of CMM and natural medicines and their relationship of modernization of CMM as well. Moreover, a prospect is given exploringly.
