Study on Naturally Occurring Drug Materials in Indonesa-5

印尼是世界上天然产品资源特别是植物资源最丰富的国家之一，印尼人民长期以来一直将药用植物作为传统药物、民间药物和民间疗法。然而，大多数药用植物尚未得到现代科学的证实，我们的研究项目“印度尼西亚天然药用材料研究”自1985年以来一直在进行。1995年在印度尼西亚东加里曼丹省进行了第五次考察。因此，我们可以收集到许多有价值的信息和资料，特别是关于达雅-贝努亚克人的传统医学。所收集的材料已经在印尼生物研究与发展中心-LIPI，印度尼西亚的植物标本馆进行了鉴定。我们相信该研究项目不仅将为日本和印度尼西亚植物学和天然产物化学的发展做出巨大贡献，而且将为两国的学术交流做出巨大贡献。

Indonesia is one of the richest countries in the world in natural product resources, particularly in botanical resources.Indonesian people have been using medicinal plants as traditional medicine ; folk medicine and folk remedy, for long time. However, most of the medicinal plants have not yet been verified on the basis of modern science.Our research project entitled "Study on Naturally Occurring Drug Materials in Indonesia" has been carrying out since 1985. The fifth expedition in 1995 was carried out in Province East Kalimantan, Indonesia. As the result, we could collect many valuable informations and materials concerning the traditional medicine, especially, by the Dayak-Benuak people.The collected materials have already been identified in Herbarium Bogoriense, Research and Development Center for Biology-LIPI,Indonesia, the Indonesian participating organization. And the collected informations have been analyzed in Fukuyama University.We believe that this research project will make a great contribution not only to the development of botany and natural product chemistry in Japan and Indonesia, but also to the academic exchange between both countries.
