Abstract

Tradicionalna kineska medicina predstavlja drevni holistički sustav liječenja koji je i danas naveliko prisutan u Kini, a postaje i sve zanimljiviji na Zapadu. Dok su mnogobrojne biljne droge tradicionalno korištene u kineskoj medicini već prisutne u monografijama Europske farmakopeje, droge životinjskog porijekla i dalje su nedovoljno istražene. Ovaj rad donosi pregled osam droga dobivenih iz životinja koljena člankonožaca u kontekstu njihovih izvora, svojstava i primjena u okviru tradicionalne kineske medicine. Dan je pregled rezultata dosadašnjih istraživanja, kao i pregled monografija odabranih droga u desetom izdanju Kineske farmakopeje. Rad doprinosi usvajanju novih znanja u području etnofarmakognozije i ukazuje na potrebu za daljnjim istraživanjima učinkovitosti i sigurnosti primjene droga životinjskog porijekla, kako u smislu dokazivanja učinkovitosti i sigurnosti njihove primjene, tako i u smjeru pronalaska novih potencijalnih lijekova.

Abstract (english)

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an ancient holistic form of healthcare, still widespread in China and becoming more and more popular in the West. While many Chinese medicinal plants are already listed in European Pharmacopoeia monographs, the animal-derived products have not been sufficiently researched. This thesis offers a systematic overview of eight drugs obtained from animals belonging to Phylum Arthropoda. The overview includes drugs' origins, properties and uses in Traditional Chinese medicine, as well as nonclinical and clinical research of their effectiveness conducted up to date. In addition, monographs of the selected drugs taken from the 10th edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia are translated into Croatian. This thesis contributes to the aquisition of new knowledge in the field of ethnopharmacognosy and points to the need for further research of drugs of animal origin either in order to prove their safety and efficiency or aiming to find new potential drugs.
