中药资源化学是中药资源学的分支学科,是药用生物学、生理生态学、药材生产与加工学、中药化学与分析学、生物工程学、生物效应与功能评价、综合利用与产品开发、信息科学等多学科相互渗透、交叉融合形成的一门新兴学科。从广义上讲,中药资源化学是一门揭示自然资源中对人类健康及其相关领域具有应用价值或潜在价值的资源性化学成分的性质、分布、积累与消长规律,并通过适宜技术集成以实现资源的合理生产与科学利用的综合性与应用性特色突出的基础学科。系统阐述了中药资源化学学科概念与性质、内涵与外延、学科建立背景、学科建设与人才培养、研究方向与目标任务等,为进一步丰富和完善中药资源化学的学科体系建设、人才培养和科学研究等提供理论依据和方法学支撑。

Resources chemistry of Chinese materia medica (RCCMM) is a subdiscipline in science of Chinese materia medica resources (SCMMR) and a new discipline which formed inter-pervasion and cross-point of multidisciplines, such as medicinal biology science, physiological ecology, production and processing of medicinal materials, chemistry and analysis of CMM, bioengineering, bioactivity and function evaluation, comprehensive utilization and product development, and bioinformation. In a broad sense, the RCCMM is a comprehensive basic subject to reveal the property, distribution, accumulation, and fluctuation regularities of resources constituents, to bring about the rational production and scientific utilization of SCMMR by integrating favorable technologies. In this article, the authors explained scientifically the concept and property, connotation and extension, bac吨round of discipline establishment, discipline development and personnel training, and research area and goal. These data would provide the methods and evidences for further improving the development of RCCMM discipline, personnel training, and scientific research.
