Abstract
Lamellarins are polyaromatic alkaloids isolated from marine organisms, including mollusks, tunicates, and sponges. Currently, over 60 structurally distinct natural lamellarins have been reported, and most of them exhibit promising biological activities, such as topoisomerase inhibition, mitochondrial function inhibition, multidrug resistance reversing, and anti-HIV activity. There has also been a significant progress on the synthetic study of lamellarins which has been regularly updated by numerous medicinal chemists as well. This review provides a detailed summary of the synthesis, pharmacology, and structural modification of lamellarins over the past decades.

Pyrazole-based lamellarin O analogues: synthesis, biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships. RSC Adv 2023; 13:7897-7912.

Abstract
A library of pyrazole-based lamellarin O analogues was synthesized from easily accessible 3(5)-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5(3)-carboxylates which were subsequently modified by bromination, N-alkylation and Pd-catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Synthesized ethyl and methyl 3,4-diaryl-1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates were evaluated for their physicochemical property profiles and in vitro cytotoxicity against three human colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116, HT29, and SW480. The most active compounds inhibited cell proliferation in a low micromolar range. Selected ethyl 3,4-diaryl-1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates were further investigated for their mode of action. Results of combined viability staining via Calcein AM/Hoechst/PI and fluorescence-activated cell sorting data indicated that cell death was triggered in a non-necrotic manner mediated by mainly G2/M-phase arrest.

Abstract
A modular hybrid strategy has been developed for the diversity-oriented synthesis of lamellarins/azalamellarins. The common pentacyclic pyrrolodihydroisoquinoline lactone/lactam core was formed via the Michael addition/ring closure (Mi-RC) and the copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC)-catalyzed C-O/C-N Ullmann coupling. Subsequent direct functionalization at C1, DDQ-mediated C5═C6 oxidation, and global deprotection of all benzyl-type O- and N-protecting groups furnished the desired lamellarins/azalamellarins. The late-stage functionalization at C1 provided a handle to accommodate a wider scope of functional groups as they need to tolerate only the DDQ oxidation and global deprotection. Moreover, with the C1-H pyrrole as the late-stage common intermediate, it was also possible to divergently exploit not only its nucleophilic nature to react with some electrophilic species but also some transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (via the intermediacy of the C1-iodopyrrole) to incorporate diversity at this position. Overall, this strategy simplifies the preparation of lamellarins/azalamellarins; including the Mi-RC, these C1-structurally diverse analogues could be prepared efficiently in 6-7 steps from the easily accessed 1-acetoxymethyldihydroisoquinoline and β-nitrocinnamate. Some selected azalamellarins were evaluated for their inhibitory effect against HeLa cervical cancer cells. An acute induction of intrinsic apoptosis was detected and may lead to growth suppression of or cytotoxicity against cancer cells.
