摘要
Natural products have been used as medicinal agents for many years. In addition, these compounds have also served as the starting points for semisynthetic analogs with improved properties. This review focuses on recent advances in the pharmacological studies on natural products mainly performed and published in China. Emphasis will be placed on those compounds that show the greatest promise clinically such as huperzine A (9-amino-13-ethylidene-11-methyl-4-azatricyclo[7.3.1.0(3.8)]trideca-3(8),6,11-trien-5-one), s-(-)-3-n-butylphthalide (s-(-)-3-butyl-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone), (-)-clausenamide (3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-5alpha-hydroxybenzyl-N-methyl-gamma-lactam) and Ginkgo biloba extract and its active components.
