Abstract
Lamellarins are marine alkaloids containing fused 14-phenyl-6H-[1]benzopyrano[4',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline or non-fused 3,4-diarylpyrrole-2-carboxylate ring systems. To date, more than 50 lamellarins have been isolated from a variety of marine organisms, such as mollusks, tunicates, and sponges. Many of them, especially fused type I lamellarins, exhibit impressive biological activity, such as potent cytotoxicity, topoisomerase I inhibition, protein kinases inhibition, and anti-HIV-1 activity. Due to their useful biological activity and limited availability from natural sources, a number of synthetic methods have been developed. In this chapter, we present an updated and comprehensive review on lamellarin alkaloids summarizing their isolation, synthesis, and biological activity.
