Modern science and technology help clarify the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine, accelerate the industry’s movement towards standardization and internationalization

  21st Century Business Herald reporter Han Liming intern Li Jiaying Shanghai report “Explore inquiry with scientific methodsThe effective ingredients and trying to answer why it is effective and how to be effective is the development trend of research.”During the 4th Asian Medical Health Summit Forum (ASGH) forum, Xu Hongxi, chief professor of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and honorary dean of the college, told reporters from the 21st Century Economic Herald that using modern science and technology and methods, it is expected to accelerate the science of Chinese medicine science.Chemical, standardization, standardization and modernization.

  In recent years, my country has attached great importance to the modernization of Chinese medicine. Since the introduction of the “Fourteenth Five -Year Plan” Traditional Chinese Medicine Development Plan, the top -level design of the top -level policy of the traditional Chinese medicine industry has been continuously improved. Under the guidance of policy guidance Methods of cross -integration of traditional Chinese medicine and multidisciplinary.

  However, the modernization and internationalization of Chinese medicine is not achieved overnight.Faced with the discovery of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, unclear phenomenon material foundations, and insufficient clinical evidence, in order to achieve the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, Feng Yibin, dean of the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, emphasized that it is necessary to solve the difficulty of quality control.Only based on sufficient scientific evidence and clinical evidence can Chinese medicine be widely accepted.Strengthening quality control and standardization can ensure the competitiveness of Chinese medicine in the global market.

  The basis of Chinese medicine utility material needs to be clarified

  At present, the traditional Chinese medicine industry is booming.according toAssociation data, from 2018 to 2022, the scale of my country’s traditional Chinese medicine industry has a fluctuating growth trend as a whole, from 637 billion yuan in 2018 to more than 700 billion yuan in 2022.In 2023, the revenue of 75 Chinese medicine listed companies in China increased by 14.3%year -on -year.

  In addition, the number of registrations for new Chinese medicines has continued to increase.

  In 2023, the CDE accepted a total of 2569 varieties of Chinese medicine registration applications. According to the registration application category statistics, IND applied for 72 varieties, an increase of 35.85%year -on -yearIND applies for 36 varieties, 2 types of improved new drugs IND application for 14 varieties; NDA application acceptance number 24 varieties, an increase of 118.18% year -on -year

  However, in terms of medicinal interpretation and uniformity, my country’s traditional Chinese medicine industry still seems to have shortcomings.The results of the research results of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceuticals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences pointed out that the problem of the foundation of Chinese medicine activity in the development of Chinese medicine innovation in my country, and there are still problems such as unclear phenomenon and material foundations, targets and mechanisms in unclear, which is still greatly hindered The clinical transformation of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine to new drugs.

  In an interview with the 21st Century Business Herald, Xu Hongxi pointed out: “There are hundreds of thousands of ingredients in Chinese medicine, and there are tens of thousands of medicines in a prescription..

  In the face of this predicament, Xu Hongxi said that whether it is western or Chinese medicine, as long as it is used as a drug, it must be evaluated in accordance with the scientific method to verify its efficacy and safety.This specifically includes preclinical trials, molecular and genetic levels, in vitro tests, verification of drug effects and safety, pharmacokinetics, in vitro tests, and a series of clinical I, II, and III stage trials.Explore the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in scientific methods, and try to answer why it is effective and how effective is the development trend of Chinese medicine research.

  It is worth noting that the innovation and application of modern technology can also start the acceleration key for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.For example, chemistry synthesis andThe application of technologies such as learning can effectively extract and artificially synthesize the effective ingredients of Chinese medicinal materials to improve production efficiency.Xu Hongxi also deeply realized that clarifying the basis of utility material is only the first step.The modernization of traditional Chinese medicine is very important. To take this innovative path, it is unknown to the effect of traditional Chinese medicine, and then optimize and transform.

  From standardization to internationalization

  The modernization of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, and its internationalization is an inevitable trend under the promotion of the country.The “Fourteenth Five -Year Plan” Traditional Chinese Medicine Development Plan “emphasizes that promoting the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and modern science, realizing the goal of continuously enhanced the ability of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance, and then promoting the modernization and industrialization of Chinese medicine, promoting the high -quality development and direction of Chinese medicineworld.Xu Hongxi further pointed out that the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine is inseparable from the quality monitoring of Chinese medicine.

  ”Although the way of western medicine in innovation may be different from traditional Chinese medicine, their essential pursuit is consistent, that is, they are all verified and improved the treatment effect through scientific means. However, Chinese medicine emphasizes the quality of medicinal materials.” Xu Hongxiemphasize.

  Xu Hongxi further explained that from the selection of seeds, planting time, the soil and soil environment of planting, the control of pesticides and microorganisms, the time of harvesting, the extraction of medicinal materials, and the subsequent production process will affect the results and quality of the efficacy and qualityconsistency.The quality control of traditional Chinese medicine is affected by the planting, processing, and processing of medicinal materials. Only scientific and reasonable quality control can ensure the effectiveness and safety of Chinese medicine.

  In Xu Hongxi’s opinion, scientific and reasonable quality control not only involves the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, but also includes precise testing and control of its effective ingredients or toxic components to ensure the quality of each batch of Chinese medicine.In addition, the entire process of Chinese medicine research and development needs to grasp the principle of “safe, effective, and controllable”.

  In fact, taking a good way to standardize is also the inherent requirement for Chinese medicine to move towards internationalization.

  Feng Yibin emphasized that although the research of traditional Chinese medicine has become relatively easy in modern times, the key is to be widely accepted by domestic and international markets. The key is quality control and standardization.From chemical pharmacology to quality monitoring, every link needs to be treated rigorous to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Chinese medicine.Only with sufficient scientific evidence and clinical evidence can the public improve the trust of Chinese medicine.In this regard, Xu Hongxi bluntly said that in order to achieve the internationalization and industrialization of Chinese medicine, standardization is the prerequisite.

  On the way from standardization to internationalization, scientific research and clinical research or asylum cannot be avoided. However, my country is particularly insufficient in this regard.

  ”Whether traditional Chinese medicine products can be widely accepted by the international community are the” pure “(Clean) of the product and the sufficient ‘research’ (Study). In the past, our efforts in this area were still insufficient.Internationalization, clinical evidence has proven to support its safety and effectiveness, which is particularly critical. “Xu Hongxi emphasized on the forum.

  Xu Hongxi further pointed out that in recent years, the internationalization of Chinese medicine has made significant progress. By formulating international standards, obtaining international certification, carried out international multi -center clinical research, strengthening international cooperation and exchanges, and promoting Chinese medicineIn many aspects of internationalization, traditional Chinese medicine has gradually been accepted and recognized by the international community.These measures not only enhance the international reputation of traditional Chinese medicine, but also laid the foundation for its entry into the global market.
