Abstract

Mineral drugs are rich in resources in China and have distinct curative effects, and are an irreplaceable component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). So, this makes minerals drugs become a research hotspot in the medical and geological fields, and a large number of related literatures have emerged. However, there are still some problems in mineral medicine research, mainly reflected in the qualitative and quantitative detection method is not mature, ignoring the importance of mineral properties for the study of pharmacological effects, and the studies on mineral drugs from the perspective of mineralogy are few at present. Chemical constituents of mineral drugs are the main source for the study of Pharmacological action. Therefore, it is meaningful to study mineral drugs by combining mineralogy with pharmacology. In this paper, a comprehensive classification system of mineral drugs is summarized, and the modern detection techniques (Infrared and Raman spectroscopy) for studying qualitative and quantitative analysis of mineral drugs are discussed. In addition, the design and application of TCM minerals database is also described. Here, we hope that this will provide a useful reference for the classification and analysis of mineral drugs from the perspective of mineralogy, and the digitization construction and application of Traditional Chinese Medicine minerals database.
