Aims
The module aims to provide students with an opportunity to analyse and study the internal components of traditional Chinese medicine plants by physical and chemical test methods, so as to provide scientific basis for the development and utilisation value of some traditional Chinese medicine plants.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Explain the basic theory and concept of pharmaceutical plant component analysis.
2.
Discuss the application of analysis of medicinal plant ingredients in pharmaceutical research and the composition analysis and utilisation of medicinal plants.
3.
Examine the research progress of analysis of medicinal plant ingredients.
4.
Describe the basic experimental principles related to the analysis of medicinal plant components.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module will provide an overview of analysis of medicinal plant ingredients, it will cover species and evolution characteristics of medicinal plant ingredients, acquisition of medicinal plant materials, structure characteristics parent ring, derivation sources and distribution of main families and genera of medicinal plant ingredients, preliminary test and purification of medicinal plant ingredients, spectral analysis of molecular structure of medicinal plant ingredients, and molecular improvement of medicinal plant ingredients.
Additional Information:Based on the historical background of the modernisation of traditional Chinese medicine in China, and the resource advantage of Yunnan as the "Kingdom of plants", this module systematically teaches the modern analysis methods of active ingredients of medicinal plants, including chromatography analysis, spectroscopy analysis, chromatography-spectroscopy analysis, biochemical analysis and molecular biology analysis.
