Presently the search for new drugs from natural resources is of growing interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Natural products have been the source of new drugs since ancient times. Plants are a good source of secondary metabolites which have been found to have beneficial properties. The present study is a review of the chemistry and pharmacology of Citrus sinensis. This review reveals the therapeutic potential of C. sinensis as a source of natural compounds with important activities that are beneficial for human health that could be used to develop new drugs.
目前，制药行业对从自然资源中寻找新药的兴趣日益浓厚。自古以来，天然产物一直是新药的来源。植物是次生代谢产物的良好来源，已发现这些次生代谢产物具有有益特性。本研究是对甜橙的化学和药理学的综述。该综述揭示了甜橙作为具有重要活性的天然化合物来源的治疗潜力，这些活性对人类健康有益，可用于开发新药。
