The present survey covers the literature from mid-1999 to 2016. A brief overview of the biosynthesis of acridone alkaloids is followed by details of the occurrence and characterization of known alkaloids from new sources, and of novel alkaloids. The classes covered include simple acridone alkaloids, C-prenylacridones, furo[3,2-b]- and furo[2,3-c]acridones, pyrano[3,2-b]- and pyrano[2,3-c]acridones, and dimeric alkaloids containing acridone moieties. Syntheses of acridone alkaloids and certain analogs reported during the review period are comprehensively covered. The final section summarizes aspects of their bioactivity, including cytotoxicity and anticancer activity, antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties, and enzyme inhibition. The chapter concludes with a brief description of important bioactive synthetic analogs.</p>","PeriodicalId":35785,"journal":{"name":"Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/bs.alkal.2017.06.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35343270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, almost two decades passed from their isolation and structural determination in 1995 to their first total synthesis. The first part of this review summarizes the synthetic approaches to the tri- and tetracyclic ring systems of lundurine as well as an inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanation strategy that gives the cyclopropa[b]indole core. The second part presents a detailed description of four total syntheses that were reported from 2014 to 2016.
