Chin J Nat Med. 2018 Dec;16(12):881-906. doi: 10.1016/S1875-5364(18)30131-6.

Abstract

In this review, we intensively focus on the advances in research of natural products (NPs) discovery carried out by domestic scholars in China from 2015 through 2017. In general, a total of 1811 publications (1479 in English and 332 in Chinese) were accumulated regarding newly isolated NPs from plants, microorganisms, and marine sources. As a result, 277 selected papers concerning naturally occurring compounds with extraordinary frameworks, origins, and promising activities were discussed in this review article, mainly organized according to their structural classes and novelties.

Keywords: Natural Products Chemistry; Novel Structures; Research Progress; Review.
