Features: Medicinal Chemistry of Natural Products, 4th Edition, was written by the authors based on the 3rd edition textbook (edited by Professor Yao Xinsheng, People's Medical Publishing House, 2000). Three years after the publication of the 3rd edition, with the advancement of cutting-edge technologies, medicinal chemistry has also made significant progress, especially in marine natural products, where numerous new research contents and achievements have emerged. Compared to the previous edition, the 4th Edition of Medicinal Chemistry of Natural Products has been revised and adjusted in terms of content, chapter organization, and writing. For example, the book has been expanded from ten to eleven chapters, with the addition of a new chapter on marine natural products based on the development trends. While inheriting the strengths of the previous edition, many new research findings have been incorporated into each chapter, particularly in Chapter 2, which has undergone substantial revisions. During the writing and revision process of this edition, efforts were made to ensure the content is both in-depth and accessible, progressive in structure, and closely interconnected, making the entire book a cohesive and integrated work. The 4th Edition of Medicinal Chemistry of Natural Products textbook is primarily intended for undergraduate students majoring in pharmacy at medical and pharmaceutical colleges, but it can also serve as a reference textbook for adult undergraduate education or self-study.
