青蒿抗疟研究信息的早期传播

On the Early Spread of Information about Artemisinin Research

中文摘要:

      文章基于原始文献史料考察了《科学通报》1977 年首次公开青蒿素化学结构和《光明日报》1978 年率先 披露青蒿素抗疟功效及其研发过程的经纬，揭示了屠呦呦以及中医研究院中药研究所对发现青蒿素物质和测定青 蒿素结构所作出的贡献。作者认为青蒿抗疟研究信息的公开不仅没有对青蒿素发明专利的申请产生负面影响，而 且还对屠呦呦2015 年获得诺贝尔生理或医学奖起到了一定的促进作用。

英文摘要:

      In this paper， the initial publication of the chemical structure of artemisinin on Chinese Science Bulletin （1977）， as well as the disclosure of its antimalarial efficacy and R&D process on Guangming Daily（1978） are documented，and both events have revealed the contribution of Tu Youyou and the Institute of Chinese Medicine of Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the identification and structure determination of artemisinin. The author argues that the disclosure of the particular details in artemisinin’s antimalarial research actually did not bring any disadvantages to the invention patent application of artemisinin；instead，it has played a certain role to make Tu Youyou，a 2015 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine.
