摘要
纳米中药(nano TCM)是指具有生物活性的成分、药用材料或复方,并由纳米技术处理成约100纳米的大小。纳米中药是中药现代化的产物,并应用于中医领域中。本文回顾了近15年来国内外有关纳米中药研究的文献。不同的纳米技术被用于研究不同目标的纳米中药制备技术。机械粉碎技术是中医复方纳米化材料的主要方法,以及纳米药物输送系统是在中药活性成分或活性部位的纳米化的主要途径。以纳米中药为例,提高中药的生物利用度,减少中药的副作用,实现缓释,达到靶向给药,提高药理作用,改善中药给药途径。然而,对于纳米中药研究仍有许多问题需要解决。纳米技术的主要挑战包括:中药现代化理论体系、制备工艺、安全性和稳定性等。

摘要: Nano traditional Chinese medicine (nano TCM) refers to bioactive ingredients, bioactive parts, medicinal materials or complex prescription, being approximately 100 nm in size, which are processed by nanotechnology. Nano TCM is a product of the TCM modernization, and is an application of nanotechnology in the field of TCM. This article reviews literatures on researches of nano TCM, which were published in the past 15 years. Different nanotechnologies have been used in preparation of Nano TCM in view of the varying aims of the study. The mechanical crushing technology is the main approach for nanolization of TCM material and complex prescription, and nanoparticulate drug delivery systems is the main approach for nanolization of bioactive ingredients or bioactive parts in TCM. Nano TCM has a number of advantages, for example, enhancing the bioavailability of TCM, reducing the adverse effects of TCM, achieving sustained release, attaining targeted delivery, enhancing pharmacological effects and improving the administration route of TCM. However, there are still many problems that must be resolved in nano TCM research. The main challenges to nano TCM include the theory system of TCM modernization, preparation technology, safety and stability, etc.
