Abstract:
Natural products are one of the most important sources of leading compounds in drug discovery. Until now, rapid screening and identification of biologically active components from natural products remain a technical challenge. Bio-affinity chromatography (BAC) based approaches hold great promise in screening potential bioactive ligands from complex samples. In this review, we summarized recent development of BAC in natural products screening, with a particular emphasis on the reported bio-affinity stationary phases and chromatographic supports as well as the applications of BAC coupled with GC-MS or LC-MS.
