Historical story on natural medicine chemistry: Application of UV, IR, MS, and NMR spectra in structure elucidation of natural products / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The study on natural product chemistry plays an important role in drug development, and the structure elucidation is one of the vital tasks in the natural product chemistry research. This paper summarized the application of UV, IR, MS, and NMR spectra in the structure elucidation of natural products with 123 papers cited. This article is one of the series of historical stories on natural product chemistry published in this journal, which are reviewed and summerized. The developing future is looked forward.
