Investigation of Naturally Occurring Drug Materials in Indonesia-2

我们的研究项目名为“印尼天然药用材料调查-2”，旨在揭示印尼天然药用材料，即药用植物，并指出日本和印尼之间学术交流的发展。1988年，我们在努沙登加拉帖木儿进行了调查，（帝汶和弗洛雷斯群岛），收集了148种药用植物及其资料，1989年在印尼博戈尔的博戈里植物标本馆进行了鉴定。这些标本的酒精提取物，并通过几种色谱技术和生物测定，在大坂大学进行了检查。分析研究正在进行中，我们已经获得了一些有希望的证据，表明对我们调查中收集的材料进行化学和生物学研究可能会导致我们发现新的生物活性物质。（两次调查共收集到Jamu材料303种，药用植物376种），我们已经基本完成了对印度尼西亚弗洛雷斯岛药用植物的调查。

Our research project entitled "Investigation of Naturally Occurring Drug Materials in Indonesia-2" aims at revealing the naturally occurring drug materials, i.e. medicinal plants, in Indonesia and points towards the development of the academic exchange between Japan and Indonesia.In 1988, we surveyed in Province Nusa Tenggara Timur (Timor and Flores Islands), Indonesia and collected 148 species of medicinal plants together with their informations.In 1989, all specimens were identified at Herbarium Bogoriense, Bogor, Indonesia. The alcoholic extracts of these specimens were made and examined by means of several kinds of chromatographic technique and bioassays, at Osaka University. The analytical studies are in progress, and we have obtained some promising evidence that the chemical and biological studies of materials collected in our survey may lead us to find new bioactive substances.By two research surveys in 1985 and 1988 (total collections of Jamu materials 303 sp. and medicinal plant 376 sp. in two surveys), we have almost completed the survey of medicinal plants in Flores Island, Indonesia.
