Natural medicines were the only option for the prevention and treatment of human diseases for thousands of years. Natural products are important sources for drug development. The amounts of bioactive natural products in natural medicines are always fairly low. Today, it is very crucial to develop effective and selective methods for the extraction and isolation of those bioactive natural products. This paper intends to provide a comprehensive view of a variety of methods used in the extraction and isolation of natural products. This paper also presents the advantage, disadvantage and practical examples of conventional and modern techniques involved in natural products research.
几千年来,天然药物一直是预防和治疗人类疾病的唯一选择。天然产物是药物开发的重要来源。天然药物中生物活性天然产物的含量一直相当低。如今,开发有效且选择性的方法来提取和分离这些生物活性天然产物至关重要。本文旨在全面介绍用于提取和分离天然产物的各种方法。本文还介绍了天然产物研究中涉及的传统和现代技术的优点、缺点及实际例子。
