本文区分中医理论(Chinese Medical Theories,CMT)和中药(Chinese Medicines, CM),而避免使用常见的中医一词(Traditional Chinese Medicine,TCM)。因为我们认为用后者不能明确药物与理论的区别,而目前虽然可以清晰地讨论药物,但对CMT的争论还会存在。
中药研究的早期著名工作,是陈克恢(K. K. Chen)进行的。他曾于1920年代初期在北京协和医学院工作过一段时间,研究中药成分、特别是麻黄素的功能。陈克恢到协和以前,曾留学美国获得很好的科学训练。在协和后他又回到美国,在学术界和药物工业界,特别是药理学界,陈克恢蜚声国际。
