Ethnobotanical research and effective utilization of Mongolian medicinal plants

对蒙古族药用植物进行了民族植物学研究，以考察其在开发治疗药物和/或保健应用方面的有效利用。在Tov、Ovorangay、Arangay、Hovsgol和Omnogoi省进行了研究，并从蒙古游牧民和当地医生那里获得了蒙古药用植物应用的信息。还收集了用于化学研究的植物材料。蒙古人一直在使用几种药用植物，类似于中国或日本的药用植物，但他们使用了不同的部位。奶制品和几种食品也被用于保健。对收集的10种蒙古族药用植物的化学研究正在进行中。对收集到的几种植物的甲醇提取物的细胞毒性也进行了评价。

Ethnobotanical research on of Mongolian medicinal plants wascarried out in order to examine their effective utilization for developing therapeutic agents and/or health care application. Research was performed in the Tov, Ovorhangay, Arhangay, Hovsgol, and Omnogovi provinces, and information for the application of the medicinal plants in Mongolia was obtained from Mongolian nomads, local doctors. Theplant materials for chemical studies were also collected. Mongolian people have been using several medicinal plants similar to those in China or Japan, but they used different part of the plants. Dairy products and several foodstuffs have been also used for their health care. Chemical studies on ten of the collected Mongolian medicinal plants are in progress. Cytotoxicity for the MeOH extract of the several collected plants was also evaluated.
