Abstract

Abstract Facile chemoenzymatic syntheses of cytotoxic monoterpenoid indole alkaloids with novel skeletons and multiple chiral centers are described. Synthesis of these alkaloids was achieved by a simple one-step reaction using strictosidine and 12-aza-strictosidine as the key intermediates. Strictosidines were prepared by coupling of secologanin with tryptamine and 7-aza-tryptamine, respectively, using the immobilized recombinant Rauvolfia ...
