Abstract
The Myrioneuron alkaloids are a relatively small family of plant-derived alkaloids that present an intriguing array of structural intricacy and biological properties. As such, these natural products have drawn interest from the synthetic community, resulting in creative total syntheses of several family members. This review showcases recent synthetic efforts towards these polycyclic alkaloids.

Abstract
We report a total synthesis of the Myrioneuron alkaloid myrioneurinol enabled by the recognition of hidden symmetry within its polycyclic structure. Our approach traces myrioneurinol's complex framework back to a symmetrical diketone precursor, a double reductive amination of which forges its central piperidine unit. By employing an inexpensive chiral amine in this key desymmetrizing event, four stereocenters of the natural product including the core quaternary stereocenter are set in an absolute sense, providing the first asymmetric entry to this target. Other noteworthy strategic maneuvers include utilizing a bicyclic alkene as a latent cis-1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl) synthon and a topologically controlled alkene hydrogenation. Overall, our synthesis proceeds in 18 steps and ∼1% yield from commercial materials.

Abstract
A concise total synthesis of (±)-myrioneurinol has been achieved in 14 steps. An efficient AgSbF6 /t-BuCl-catalyzed intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of the alkynone-tethered enamine was developed to prepare the highly strained cyclobutene. It was used in combination with a subsequent retro-Mannich fragmentation/Mannich reaction to efficiently construct the tricyclic core of myrioneurinol.

Abstract
Background:
Hepatitis C virus infection is a significant global health burden, which
causes acute or chronic hepatitis. Acute hepatitis C is generally asymptomatic and progresses to
cure, while persistent infection can progress to chronic liver disease and extrahepatic manifestations.
Standard treatment is expensive, poorly tolerated, and has variable sustained virologic responses
amongst the different viral genotypes. New therapies involve direct acting antivirals; however,
it is also very expensive and may not be accessible for all patients worldwide. In order to provide
a complementary approach to the already existing therapies, natural bioactive compounds are
investigated as to their several biologic activities, such as direct antiviral properties against hepatitis
C, and effects on mitigating chronic progression of the disease, which include hepatoprotective,
antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities; additionally, these compounds present
advantages, as chemical diversity, low cost of production and milder or inexistent side effects.
Objective:
To present a broad perspective on hepatitis C infection, the chronic disease, and natural
compounds with promising anti-HCV activity. Methods: This review consists of a systematic review
study about the natural bioactive compounds as a potential therapy for hepatitis C infection.
Results:
The quest for natural products has yielded compounds with biologic activity, including viral
replication inhibition in vitro, demonstrating antiviral activity against hepatitis C.
Conclusion:
One of the greatest advantages of using natural molecules from plant extracts is the
low cost of production, not requiring chemical synthesis, which can lead to less expensive therapies
available to low and middle-income countries.

Abstract
A catalytic enantioselective approach to the Myrioneuron alkaloids (−)-myrifabral A and (−)-myrifabral B is described. The synthesis was enabled by a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation, that generates the C(10) all-carbon quaternary center. A key N-acyl iminium ion cyclization forged the cyclohexane fused tricyclic core, while vinyl boronate cross metathesis and oxidation afforded the lactol ring of (−)-myrifabral A. Adaptation of previously reported conditions allowed for the conversion of (−)-myrifabral A to (−)-myrifabral B. A catalytic enantioselective approach to the Myrioneuron alkaloids (−)-myrifabral A and (−)-myrifabral B is described.![]()

A cascade reaction to build vinyl cyclobutanol rings through activation of vinyl epoxides by palladium, followed by 1,4-Brook rearrangement and intramolecular cyclization with a palladium complex of the resulting carbon anion, is described. Through this cascade reaction, several highly substituted cyclobutanol substrates were achieved in good yields with high stereoselectivities.

Abstract
Four new Myrioneuron alkaloids, mysumamides A-D (1-4), along with three known ones were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Myrioneuron effusum. All of these alkaloids possessed the tetracyclic skeleton and contained the decahydroquinoline (cis-DHQ) moiety. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods, especially 2D NMR techniques. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds were also evaluated in vitro.
