China has accumulated a rich body of empirical knowledge of the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases throughout its long history. Chemical studies on Chinese medicinal plants provide a valuable material base for the discovery and development of new drugs of natural origin. In this article recent chemical work on various Chinese medicinal plants is reviewed, including Mussaenda pubescens (Rubiaceae), Isatis indigotica (Cruciferae), Euphorbia fischeriana, and E. ebracteolata (Euphorbiaceae), and Stemona species (Stemonaceae). The structural diversity of the medicinal chemical constituents of the above plants is discussed.
在漫长的历史中，中国积累了丰富的药用植物治疗各种疾病的经验知识。对中国药用植物的化学研究为天然来源新药的发现和开发提供了宝贵的物质基础。本文综述了近期对各种中国药用植物的化学研究工作，包括玉叶金花（茜草科）、菘蓝（十字花科）、狼毒大戟和月腺大戟（大戟科）以及百部属植物（百部科）。讨论了上述植物药用化学成分的结构多样性。
