This is the study on the transition of the standards and methods for valerianae radix between JP VI (1951) and JP XII (1991). The results were as follows: Japanese valerianae was used as the same effective drugs as valerianae in Europe since the beginning of Meiji era. Japanese valerianae contained the volatile oil much more than one in Europe and was evaluated from foreign countries. Japanese Valerianae was produced mainly in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan before World War II. After the war, the production of it transferred from Kanagawa Prefecture to Hokkaido. The standards and methods for valerianae radix were revised accurately between JP VI (1951) and JP XII (1991).
这是一项关于《日本药局方》第六版(1951年)和第十二版(1991年)中缬草标准及方法变迁的研究。结果如下:自明治时代初期起,日本缬草就被用作与欧洲缬草相同的有效药物。日本缬草所含挥发油比欧洲缬草多得多,并受到国外评价。二战前,日本缬草主要产于神奈川县。战后,其产地从神奈川县转移至北海道。《日本药局方》中缬草的标准及方法在第六版(1951年)和第十二版(1991年)之间进行了精确修订。
