Abstract
Alkaloids are a complex class of biologically active compounds with a broad spectrum of health-related applications. Particularly the alkaloids of indole, steroidal, terpenoids, isoquinoline, and bisbenzylisoquinoline have been extensively investigated. Ultimately, substantial advancement has been highlighted in the investigation of chemical constituents and the therapeutic benefits of plant alkaloids, particularly during the last ten years. A total of 386 alkaloids have been isolated from over 40 families, including Apocynaceae, Annonaceae, Rubiaceae, Menispermaceae, Ranunculaceae, Buxaceae, Papaveraceae, Magnoliaceae, Rutaceae and Phyllanthaceae. This paper will investigate several alkaloids that have been isolated from botanical medicines as well as offer an in-depth analysis of their cytotoxic properties.

Hop NQ, Son NT. A comprehensive review on phytochemistry and pharmacology of genus Kopsia: monoterpene alkaloids - major secondary metabolites. RSC Adv 2022; 12:19171-19208.

Abstract
Kopsia belongs to the family Apocynaceae, which was originally classified as a genus in 1823. Kopsia consists of medicinal plants that can be traditionally used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and dropsy. More than one hundred and twenty-five publications have been documented relating to the phytochemical and pharmacological results, but a systematic review is not available. The goal of this study is to compile almost all of the secondary metabolites from the plants of genus Kopsia, as well as the coverage of their pharmacological research. The document findings were conducted via reliable sources, including Web of Science, Sci-Finder, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, and publishers, while four words “Kopsia”, “monoterpene alkaloids”, “Phytochemistry” and “Pharmacology” are key factors to search for references. Most Kopsia secondary metabolites were collected. A total of four hundred and seventy-two, including four hundred and sixty-six monoterpene alkaloids, five triterpenoids, and one sterol, were summarized, along with their resource. Kopsia monoterpene alkaloids presented in various skeletons, but aspidofractinines, eburnamines, and chanofruticosinates are the three major backbones. Mersinines and pauciflorines are new chemical classes of monoterpene alkaloids. With the rich content of monoterpene alkaloids, Kopsia constituents were also the main objects in pharmacological studies since the plant extracts and isolated compounds were proposed for anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-manic, anti-nociceptive, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory, cardiovascular, and vasorelaxant activities, especially cytotoxicity. Monoterpene alkaloids (466 isolated compounds) are major components, and anticancer activity is characteristic of Kopsia constituents.![]()

Abstract
Tetrahydroisoquinolines are the framework of numerous natural products predominantly alkaloids, an important and one of the most wide spread families of naturally occurring compounds in the plant kingdom. Tetrahydroisoquinolines are commonly constructed through an old reaction, the so-called Pictet−Spengler Reaction (PSR). In this reaction, a β-aryl ethylamine undergoes an acid mediated condensation with a suitable aldehyde or ketone, followed by ring closure. In this review, we aim to highlight the applications of the asymmetric variant of this old name reaction in the total synthesis of natural products, chiefly, alkaloids, which exhibit significant biological properties.

Abstract
The phytochemistry of Kopsia arborea Blume has received considerable attention, which has resulted in the isolation of a number of new unusual indole alkaloids with intriguing structures. In this study, a new eburnane-type alkaloid, phutdonginin (1), together with eight known alkaloids: 19-OH-(-)-eburnamonine (2), melodinine E (3), kopsinine (4), kopsilongine (5), kopsamine (6), (-)-methylenedioxy-11,12-kopsinaline (7), decarbomethoxykopsiline (8), and vincadifformine (9), were isolated from the twigs of K. arborea. Their structures were characterized extensively by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESI-MS. All compounds were submitted to TLC screening for acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Only kopsamine and decarbomethoxykopsiline showed AChE inhibition with MIR values of 12.5 and 6.25 μg, respectively, compared with galanthamine (positive control, 0.004 μg). In addition, compounds 1 and 2 inhibited moderate antibacterial activity against E. coli TISTR 780 with the MIC value of 32 μg/mL.

Abstract
A cytotoxic bisindole alkaloid possessing an unprecedented structure constituted from the union of an eburnan half and a novel vinylquinoline alkaloid has been isolated from Leuconotis griffithii. The structure was established by analysis of the spectroscopic data and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. A possible biogenetic pathway to the novel quinolinic coupling partner is presented from an Aspidosperma precursor.

Abstract
Three new rhazinilam-derived alkaloids, kopsiyunnanines C1, C2, and C3, and a new quebrachamine-type alkaloid, kopsiyunnanine D, which possess an unusual methoxymethyl or ethoxymethyl function, were isolated from the aerial parts of Yunnan Kopsia arborea. This is the first report of the presence of these functions in natural alkaloids. The structures and absolute configurations of the alkaloids were determined by spectroscopic methods and confirmed by semisynthesis.

Abstract
Ten new indole alkaloids of the aspidofractinine type, in addition to several recently reported indole alkaloids and 20 other known alkaloids, were obtained from the leaf and stem-bark extract of the Malayan Kopsia singapurensis, viz., kopsimalines A-E (1-5), kopsinicine (6), kopsofinone (7), and kopsiloscines H-J (8-10). The structures of these alkaloids were determined using NMR and MS analysis. Kopsimalines A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5) and kopsiloscine J (10) were found to reverse multidrug-resistance in vincristine-resistant KB cells, with 1 showing the highest potency.

Abstract
Eleven new indole alkaloids, in addition to the previously reported rhazinal (1), and 14 other known alkaloids, were obtained from the Malayan Kopsia singapurensis, viz., kopsiloscines A-F (2-7), 16-epikopsinine (8), kopsilongine- N-oxide (9), 16-epiakuammiline (10), aspidophylline A (11), and vincophylline (12). The structures of these alkaloids were determined using NMR and MS analyses. Rhazinal (1), rhazinilam (17), and rhazinicine (18) showed appreciable cytotoxicity toward drug-sensitive as well as vincristine-resistant KB cells, while kopsiloscines A (2), B (3), and D (5) and aspidophylline A (11) were found to reverse drug-resistance in drug-resistant KB cells.
