Discussion on rules of supramolecular “imprinting template” in extraction technology of Chinese materia medica / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The selection of appropriate extraction technology of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is the key phase in the preparation process of CMM preparation, and it is also the hot spot the industry personnel concerned about. In recent years, the extraction principle of CMM has been innovated, the technology has been improved and new ideas and methods have emerged. In the face of different kinds of extraction methods of CMM, how to select or innovate the appropriate extraction method to extract the effective components of CMM is a common difficult problem in accordance with the characteristics of multi-component groups of CMM. Therefore, it is urgent to sort out the extant situation of CMM, discuss the characteristics of interaction between multi-components of CMM and propose a set of optimization extraction methods adapted to multi-component objectives. Based on the above discussion, this paper firstly summarizes the present situation of CMM extraction, and introduces supramolecular chemistry, combined with supramolecular imprinting templates theory to put forward the theory, the method and the technology of qualitative and quantitative extraction of Chinese medicines which is suitable for the characteristics of active ingredients of Chinese medicines from the perspective of molecular social interaction. The aim is to promote the development of the extraction technology of CMM, make progress in the production technology of CMM preparations, and accelerate the process of modernization of CMM pharmaceuticals.
