title: Monoterpenoid Bisindole Alkaloids.
abstract: This chapter covers the literature on bisindole alkaloids consisting of monoterpenoid indoles, published up to June 2015. Bisindole alkaloids isolated from plants belonging to the families Apocynaceae and Loganiaceae, including Iboga-vobasine type, Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma type, eburnan-Aspidosperma type, Strychnos-Strychnos type, macroline-macroline type, and so on, are described. Some recent syntheses of monoterpenoid bisindole alkaloids are outlined as well.
