Biomimetic chemistry of camptothecin: involvement of isovincoside lactam (Strictosamide)

Abstract

The indole αβ-bond of isovincoside lactam (strictosamide)(2a) is cleaved much more rapidly by either NaIO4 or oxygen–KBuOt than the corresponding bond of vincoside lactam (2b), which may be significant in the biosynthetic preference of (2a) over (2b) in the biosynthesis of camptothecin (1).
