: Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid which represents one of the constituents of the “phytocomplex” of Cannabis sativa. This natural compound is attracting growing interest since when CBD-based remedies and commercial products were marketed. This review aims to exhaustively address the extractive and analytical approaches that have been developed for the isolation and quantification of CBD. Recent updates on cutting-edge technologies were critically examined in terms of yield, sensitivity, flexibility and performances in general, and are reviewed alongside original representative results. As an add-on to currently available contributions in the literature, the evolution of the novel, efficient synthetic approaches for the preparation of CBD, a procedure which is appealing for the pharmaceutical industry, is also discussed. Moreover, with the increasing interest on the therapeutic potential of CBD and the limited understanding of the undergoing biochemical pathways, the reader will be updated about recent in silico studies on the molecular interactions of CBD towards several different targets attempting to fill this gap. Computational data retrieved from the literature have been integrated with novel in silico experiments, critically discussed to provide a comprehensive and updated overview on the undebatable potential of CBD and its therapeutic profile.

Over the last few decades, considerable research efforts have been directed toward the development of effective chemical syntheses of camptothecin and its analogs. The last comprehensive review of this area was published in 2003 and many effective new methods have since been reported for the stereoselective synthesis of the camptothecin alkaloids. In this account, we have summarized most of the novel synthetic approaches developed for the synthesis of camptothecins during the last decade. We have focused on strategies for the construction of the pentacyclic ring system and the different methods used to install the chiral quaternary center on the E ring of camptothecin.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of Racemic Camptothecins3 Enantioselective Synthesis of Camptothecins3.1 Sharpless Asymmetric Dihydroxylation3.2 Catalytic Asymmetric Cyanosilylation3.3 Auxiliary-Induced Asymmetric Carbonyl Addition3.4 Catalytic Asymmetric Ethylation3.5 Asymmetric Hydroxylation4 Conclusion

FR901483 is a unique alkaloid bearing an aza-tricyclic structure, a phosphate group, and a congested tertiary nitrogen center. This alkaloid was reported to be a potent immunosuppressant with antimetabolite ability. The unprecedented architecture has captured imagination of synthetic chemists since its isolation in 1996. To date, ten total or formal syntheses and several synthetic approaches to access the tricyclic core skeleton have been reported. In this review, we highlight the novel synthetic methods and strategies and discuss the synthetic challenge for meeting the criteria of drug development.1 Introduction2 Bioinspired Total Synthesis of FR9014833 Non-bioinspired Approaches toward FR9014834 Various Tactics for Accessing the Core Skeleton5 Challenges for Efficiency
