药材商品规格标准所依据的是简单易行、直观明了的性状特征,是药材市场交易定价的基础。然而现有研究尚未阐明药材商品规格标准的科学内涵,难以证明传统药材商品规格经验划分的科学性。近年来与中医药学的整体观具有相似性的代谢组学技术快速发展,并在药材商品规格等级研究中显示出广阔应用前景。结合文献以及本课题组的工作对这些研究进行简要分析,并提出基于代谢组学的中药材商品规格研究思路,同时对其应用前景和存在问题进行展望。
The commercial specification standards of traditional Chinese medicinal materials(TCMM) are determined on the basis of simple, practicable, and intuitive characteristics, which are the foundation of pricing in the TCMM trade. However, the scientific connotation of commercial specifications of TCMM has not been clearly clarified yet, so that it is difficult to prove the scientific nature on the traditional experiences for commercial specifications of TCMM. In recent years, metabolomics, a rapidly developing technology, which is consistent with the overall concept in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, reveals potential application prospect in the study on the commercial specifications grade of TCMM. In this study, the results in literatures as well as our previous study were analyzed, and a research idea on the commercial specifications of TCMM based on metabolomics has been put forward. Then its future application and existing problems have also been discussed.
