主要研究成果：
（1）建立“一锅多步”串联环化反应，实现Salviadione的首次仿生合成，巧妙运用仿生杂合策略，获得肺组织特异性分布的抗急性肺损伤候选药物，并揭示潜在作用靶标与机制，为开发安全、有效的急性肺损伤治疗药物提供新结构和新靶标机制（Chem Sci 2019）。
（2）突破丹参酮结构改造的传统思路，首次实现四环骨架的氮杂化修饰，获得成药性和药效显著改善的全新结构衍生物（J Med Chem 2018）；并揭示其直接作用靶标和多通路协同的抗肿瘤机制，推动丹参酮类天然产物在抗肿瘤领域的研究与开发（Biochem Pharmacol 2018）。
（3）通过螺环/稠环化策略，获得抗肿瘤活性显著提高的全新青蒿素衍生物（Eur J Med Chem 2015）；利用定量比较蛋白组学等手段，阐明内质网应激诱导的抗肿瘤作用机制，并首次揭示抗肿瘤活性与关键节点蛋白ASNS的相关性，为与ASNS抑制剂的联合用药提供重要依据（Cancer Lett 2020）。
