红外光谱在中药定性定量分析中的应用

红外光谱灵敏度高、操作简便、谱带的专属性强，特别适合于中药材的无损快速鉴别和定量分析，它正在成为中药质量控制方面的一种有效手段。文章综述了红外光谱在中药定性和定量研究中的应用现状，对红外光谱在中药材(同一药材不同部位，不同产地、品种的同种中药材，易混淆、真伪中药材等)和中成药(中药配方颗粒和注射剂等)的鉴别分析与有效成分含量测定等方面的应用进行了详细评述。随着傅里叶变换红外光谱和计算机技术的不断发展，它必将在中国中药的现代化和国际化道路上起到关键作用。

A Review on Applications of Infrared Spectroscopy to the Study of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Infrared spectroscopy is well suited for the rapid and nondestructive identification and quantification of traditional(Chinese) medicine(TCM) for its high resolution,easy operation and strong specialization of absorbance bands.It is becoming an efficient methodology in the quality control of TCM.The present paper reviews the applications of infrared spectrometry in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of TCM,especially to the discrimination and effective content determination of traditional Chinese medicinal materials(including different parts of the same medicinal material,TCM from different geographical areas,easily confusing TCM,and true and false TCM) and Chinese patent medicine(such as TCM formula particles,injections,etc.).With the ceaseless rapid development and popularization of FTIR spectrometer and computer science,infrared spectrometry will greatly accelerate the process of TCM modernization and internationalization by all means.
