Non-monoterpenoid azepinoindole alkaloids

Covering: 1969 to 2018 Azepinoindole natural products can be broadly classified as being of monoterpenoid or non-monoterpenoid origin. The non-monoterpenoid azepinoindoles have not received as much attention in the literature as their more revered monoterpenoid counterparts. In this review, an overview of all non-monoterpenoid azepinoindoles is provided. Various biological and chemical aspects are discussed, including their isolation, biosynthesis and the elegant total synthesis studies that have been inspired by these alkaloids. This review discusses various biological and chemical aspects of the non-monoterpenoid azepinoindole class of alkaloids, including their isolation, biosynthesis and total synthesis.
