Discussion on “lifting and lowering” of Chinese materia medica based on supramolecular imprinting template theory / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Based on the special influence of supramolecular chemistry on the four-character theory of Chinese materia medica (CMM) proposed in the early stage of this laboratory, this paper further analyzes the historical evolution and research situation of CMM lifting and lowering, and uses the supramolecular “imprint template” theory to analyze the “lifting and sinking” of CMM, and proposes evaluation method of CMM floating and sinking. The human body and CMM are “imprinted templates” of the aggregation of imprinting function, under the effect of the “imprinting template”, different types of Chinese native medicine ingredient targets with human targets through “lock-and-key” relationship in non covalent bond, the role of CMM object supramolecular by key can correct human body supramolecular in the processes of self-recognition, self-organization, self-assembly, self-replication when the fever, disorder of qi occurs. The human body has the ability to resist the invasion of external diseases and pathogens, which depends on the normal “rise and fall” of human qi; CMM has the property of floating and sinking, and can eliminate diseases. It depends on its adjustment of qi disorder of human body, or compliance with qi and removing pathogens to enhance the ability of immunity. Based on this, on the basis of analyzing the pharmacological effects of the rise and fall of CMM, the material basis of the lifting and lowering of CMM was explored, and the evaluation method of the lifting and lowering of traditional Chinese medicine was established. The supramolecular “imprinting template” theory is used to analyze the lifting and lowering of CMM, revealing its scientific connotation and promoting the continuous innovation of CMM pharmacology theory.
