RESUMO
Separation of active ingredients from Chinese materia medica (CMM) by molecularly imprinted polymers has such advantages as high speed, low cost, being reusable, low pollution, and so on. Because of this reason, the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers and its application in separation have drawn more and more attention of researchers in the field of CMM all over the world. Obviously, the core of this research is to explore the relationship between the polymer-structure and separation efficiency. Based on the types of active ingredients of CMM (flavone, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, etc.), the design principle of molecularly imprinted polymer, its preparation methods and latest application in separation of active ingredients from CMM were introduced. Therefore, this paper can provide a reference for designing new materials with higher selectivity in separation of active ingredients from CMM.
RESUMO
With the popularity of the concept of being ?natural?and ?vegetarian?;plant soft capsules have gained widespread attention in pharmaceutical markets of many countries.Looking for new materials of plant soft capsules and developing the new technologies have become a inevitable requirement due to the traditional gelatin soft capsules could not meet the increasing daily life demand of people.The review illustrates the characteristics of the commonly used plantsoft capsule materials such as modified starch;gelatin or synthetic polymers;as well as the application of advanced technology concerning capsule shell and core material;providing a reference for the development and application of new plant soft capsules.The promising expectation of plant soft capsules are also illustrated.
