Indole-fused tetracyclic ring systems containing nitrogen atoms are common core skeletons of many indole alkaloids such as sarpagine, macroline, and ajmaline. Efficient and stereoselective construction of these ring systems can promote the development of the corresponding alkaloid syntheses. In this article, we briefly summarize our current progress toward the application of the aza-Achmatowicz reaction and indole nucleophilic addition reaction cascade for the first asymmetric total synthesis of the macroline-type indole alkaloid (–)-Alstofolinine A. Our synthetic strategy is based on furan oxidation/rearrangement and proceeds from easily accessible materials such as indole and furan derivatives.

Several cell lines resistant to 5-methyltryptophan were selected from wild type cells of different Catharanthus roseus suspension cultures. The resistant cells had up to 30 times tne normal levels of free tryptophan. Despite the increased pool size of tryptophan anthranilate synthetase activity of resistant cells was as sensitive to inhibition by ʟ-tryptophan as wild type cells. The overproduction of tryptophan did not lead to intensified accumulation of tryptamine nor of indole alkaloids. This was supported by a low conversion of tryptophan to tryptamine in vivo and in vitro. The overpro­duction of one of the primary precursors was evidently not sufficient to stimulate the rate of indole alkaloid synthesis in Catharanthus cells.

The photocyclization of enaminones was extended to aryl enaminones bearing a substituent on the aromatic moiety. This reaction was studied in order to achieve the synthesis of indole alkaloid synthons. Trials of regioselectivity control were made by using groups with enhanced steric hindrance. The reactivity of secondary enaminones was tested, and the ratio of C-alkylation to N-alkylation was shown to be dependent on the nature of the aromatic substituent. During this work, new hexahydrocarbazolones were synthesized, with substituents on the A ring or the modified C ring. Keywords: photocyclization, aryl enaminones, indole alkaloids, hexahydrocarbazolones-4, cyclopenta[b]indoles.
