Pain is a complex, unpleasant feeling and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, and manifests itself in certain autonomous psychological and behavioral responses. The commonly used opioid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics(NSAIDs) may cause adverse reactions to the kidney, liver, cardiovascular or gastrointestinal system and cause problems of drug abuse. Therefore, it is necessary to study new analgesic drugs with less side effects and significant analgesic effects. A variety of natural products derived from terrestrial plants, microorganisms, marine organisms and fungi have been an important source of clinical medicines and provide an inexhaustible resource for the development and innovation of modern medicines. Therefore, this paper mainly reviews the natural non-alkaloids with analgesic activity in order to provide reference for the research and development of analgesic drugs derived from natural products.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative, progressive, and fatal disorder characterized by marked atrophy of the cerebral cortex and loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. The main pathological features of AD are related to neuronal degeneration and include extracellular deposition of amyloid beta plaques (Aβ plaques), intracellular formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), and neuroinflammation. So far, drugs used to treat AD have symptomatic and palliative pharmacological effects, disappearing with continued use due to neuron degeneration and death.

Background: Sugarcane provides many secondary metabolites for the pharmacological and cosmetic industries. Secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, have been studied, but few reports focus on the identification of alkaloid and non-alkaloid phytocompounds in sugarcane.
Results: In this study, we identified 40 compounds in total from the rinds of cultivated sugarcane varieties (including eight alkaloids, 24 non-alkaloids, and eight others) by using the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach.

The antimicrobial properties of herbs from Papaveraceae have been used in medicine for centuries. Nevertheless, mutual relationships between the individual bioactive substances contained in these plants remain poorly elucidated. In this work, phytochemical composition of extracts from the aerial and underground parts of five Papaveraceae species ( L.

Plant-derived alkaloids are bioactive natural ingredients, but their contents are relatively low in plants. Therefore, the efficient enrichment of alkaloids is a prerequisite for purification and further pharmacological research. In this study, an efficient and simple strategy for enrichment of steroidal alkaloids in Fritillaria was developed for the first time based on the fluorinated reverse-phase stationary phase (FC8HL).
