Abstract:
The standardization of compound nomenclature is of vital importance. The principles of standardization include scientificity, systematization, monosemy, openness, and back-translatability. The standardized compound names should also be cross-translatable from roots of the words and easy to remember. The article indexed 592 new active natural compounds, referencing 222 papers from 11 leading foreign periodicals and four domestic journals. The names of new compounds in the paper may be controversial, but the nomenclature was complied with the above principles of standardization.
