The chromenone core is an ubiquitous group in biologically active natural products and has been extensively used in organic synthesis. Fluorine-derived compounds, including those with a trifluoromethyl group (CF3), have shown enhanced biological activities in numerous pharmaceuticals compared with their non-fluorinated analogues. 2-Trifluoromethylchromenones can be readily functionalized at the 8- and 7-positions, providing chromenones cores of high structural complexity, which are excellent precursors for numerous trifluoromethyl heterocycles.

In recent years, biologically active natural products have gradually become important agents in the field of drug research and development because of their wide availability and variety. However, the target sites of many natural products are yet to be identified, which is a setback in the pharmaceutical industry and has seriously hindered the translation of research findings of these natural products as viable candidates for new drug exploitation. This review systematically describes the commonly used strategies for target identification via the application of probe and non-probe approaches. The merits and demerits of each method were summarized using recent examples, with the goal of comparing currently available methods and selecting the optimum techniques for identifying the targets of bioactive natural products.
