Abstract

Abstract. The forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) is an endangered artiodactyl species. Males have a musk gland that secretes musk. Musk is the raw material for many medicines and has high economic value. In recent years, because of the impacts of illegal trade and habitat fragmentation, the wild forest musk deer has nearly been driven to extinction, and it has been listed as a key protected animal by many countries. Since 2002, the Chinese government has listed wild forest musk deer populations as first-class nationally protected animals and has conducted many artificial breeding studies. In this article, we review and summarise the biological characteristics and protective measures of wild forest musk deer, the musk synthesis mechanisms and the factors influencing musk yield. We also discuss the problems facing forest musk deer conservation and the development of musk-related medicines.

中国林麝的研究与保护

摘要林麝（Moschus berezovskii）是一种濒临灭绝的偶蹄目动物。雄性有一个分泌麝香的麝香腺。麝香是许多药物的原料，具有很高的经济价值。近年来，由于非法贸易和栖息地破碎化的影响，野生林麝几乎濒临灭绝，被许多国家列为重点保护动物。自2002年以来，中国政府已将野生林麝种群列为国家一级保护动物，并进行了多次人工繁育研究。本文综述了野生林麝的生物学特性、保护措施、合成麝香的机理及影响麝香产量的因素。我们还讨论了林麝保护和麝香相关药物开发面临的问题。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
