Description
Summary:Covering: 1999 to August 2009. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep. , 2000, 17 , 117 In the review period, 97 new representatives of Stemona alkaloids were described, bringing the total reported so far to 139. In this review, we discuss their isolation, structural elucidation, structural classification, biological activities, semi-synthesis and total syntheses. These alkaloids are classified into seven groups displaying either a pyrrolo[1,2- a ]azepine or a pyrido[1,2- a ]azepine core, and a miscellaneous group comprising those alkaloids without these structural motifs, together with those that are the sole representative of a new group. This review covers the literature up to August 2009, and describes the isolation, structural elucidation, structural classification, biological activities and total syntheses of the 97 new representatives of the Stemona alkaloids that have been described since we last reviewed this topic.
