2015년 한약의 도핑관리

Anti-dopping of herbal medicine in 2015

Objectives This study is attempted to evaluate the association between herbal medicine and the prohibited substances issued by the inves-tigation of anti-doping and propose the rational criteria for the selection of prohibited herbal medcine. Methods and Results The validity of 10 herbal medicines listed on anti-dopping which have been suspected of the possibility for the inclusion of the banned elements were reviewed. Of these, 4(Moschus berezovskii Flerove, Liriope platyphylla, Rehmanniae Radix Crudus, and Cistanche deserticola), 2(Poncirus trifoliata Rafinesque and Citrus aurantium L.), 1(Chinemys reevesii Gray), 1(Hominis Placenta), 1(Chelidonium majus L.), and 1(Pinellia ternata Breitenbach) were suspected of the inclusion of glycerol, synephrine, steroid, cor-tisone, codeine, and ephedrine, respectively. We found that 22 herbal medicines were not listed on the Korean Phamacopeia of Crude Drug and the distribution of 17 ones were forbidden, and compared the criteria for the selection of prohibited herbal medi-cine in Korea with these in China, Japan, and Taiwan. Conclusion We concluded that this study is likely to be the basis on the establishment of the accurate term for herbal medicines related to doping and the safety for ones by the scientific criteria.
