Vindoline, a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, is used to synthesize vinblastine and vincristine via coupling catharanthine. Vindoline may be used as a reference standard during its identification and purification of from plant materials.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Vindoline is a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid exclusive to the Madagascar periwinkle plant (Catharanthus roseus). Vindoline combines catharanthine to derive the anti-cancer agents vinblastine and vincristine.

Concise asymmetric total syntheses of vindoline (1) and vindorosine (2) are detailed based on a unique intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles inspired by the natural product structures. A chiral substituent on the tether linking the
The synthetic investigation of biologically active natural compounds serves two main purposes: (i) the total synthesis of alkaloids and their analogues; (ii) modification of the structures for producing more selective, more effective, or less toxic derivatives. In the chemistry of

Vindoline constitutes the main terpenoid indole alkaloid accumulated in leaves of Catharanthus roseus, and four genes involved in its biosynthesis have been identified. However, the spatial organization of the tabersonine-to-vindoline biosynthetic pathway is still incomplete. To pursue the characterization of

Catharanthus roseus is a well-known dicotyledonous medicinal plant containing diverse classes of bioactive terpene indole alkaloids (TIAs), in particular the anticancer agents vinblastine and vincristine. In view of the commercial importance of these compounds there is an urgent need to
The regioselective intermolecular coupling reaction of vindoline with a wide range of substrates including β-ketoesters, β-diketones, β-ketoaldehydes, β-ketonitriles, malononitriles, and β-cyanoesters provides an opportunity for the synthesis of vinblastine analogues containing deep-seated changes in the upper velbanamine subunit. The transition-metal-free
