Abstract
The tetracyclic heteroaromatic compounds cryptolepine, isocryptolepine and neocryptolepine are all naturally occurring indoloquinoline alkaloids isolated from the shrub Cryptolepis sanguinolenta and are important due to their wide spectrum of biological properties. This review describes the isolation, brief biological activities and various synthetic methodologies developed during recent years for the preparation of this important class of alkaloids, with special emphasis on preparation and properties of cryptolepine 1, isocryptolepine 2 and neocryptolepine 3.
Keywords: Alkaloid, cryptolepine, heteroaromatic, indoloquinoline, isocryptolepine, neocryptolepine, tuberculosis, AIDS, Ghana-strain, spectroscopy, Palladium-catalyzed Coupling Reaction, regioselective coupling reaction, Suzuki arylation, Myers method, Aza-Wittig Reaction

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
