Abstract
The recombination of natural product (NP) fragments in unprecedented ways has emerged as an important strategy for bioactive compound discovery. In this context, we propose that privileged primary fragments predicted to be enriched in activity against a specific target class can be coupled to diverse secondary fragments to engineer selectivity among closely related targets. Here, we report the synthesis of an alkaloid-inspired compound library enriched in spirocyclic ring fusions, comprising 58 compounds from 12 tropane- or quinuclidine-containing scaffolds, all of which can be considered pseudo-NPs. The library displays excellent predicted drug-like properties including high Fsp3 content and Lipinski's rule-of-five compliance. Targeted screening against selected members of the serotonin and dopamine G protein-coupled receptor family led to the identification of several hits that displayed significant agonist or antagonist activity against 5-HT2A and/or 5-HT2C, and subsequent optimization of one of these delivered a lead dual 5-HT2B/C antagonist with a highly promising selectivity profile.

Abstract
An active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is any substance in a pharmaceutical product that is biologically active. That means the specific molecular entity is capable of achieving a defined biological effect on the target. These ingredients need to meet very strict limits; chemical and optical purity are considered to be the most important ones. A continuous-flow synthetic methodology which utilizes a continuously flowing stream of reactive fluids can be easily combined with photochemistry, which works with the chemical effects of light. These methods can be useful tools to meet these strict limits. Both of these methods are unique and powerful tools for the preparation of natural products or active pharmaceutical ingredients and their precursors with high structural complexity under mild conditions. This review shows some main directions in the field of active pharmaceutical ingredients' preparation using continuous-flow chemistry and photochemistry with numerous examples of industry and laboratory-scale applications.

Abstract
The aberrant protein-protein interaction between calmodulin and mutant huntingtin protein in Huntington's disease patients has been found to contribute to Huntington's disease progression. A high-throughput screen for small molecules capable of disrupting this interaction revealed a sultam series as potent small-molecule disruptors. Diversification of the sultam scaffold afforded a set of 24 analogs or further evaluation. Several structure-activity trends within the analog set were found, most notably a negligible effect of absolute stereochemistry and a strong beneficial correlation with electron-withdrawing aromatic substituents. The most promising analogs were profiled for off-target effects at relevant kinases and, ultimately, one candidate molecule was evaluated for neuroprotection in a neuronal cell model of Huntington's disease.

Abstract
Stemona alkaloids contain family members with diverse structural scaffolds. Many of them feature a γ-lactam ring embedded in their characteristic 5-7-5 fused tricyclic core. Herein a pyrrole strategy was developed to enable the total syntheses of three Stemona alkaloids: (±)stemoamide, (±)tuberostemoamide, and (±)sessilifoliamide A. In these cases, a substituted pyrrole was used as the γ-lactam precursor. A sequential pyrrole oxidation and enamide reduction were realized to convert the pyrrole to the corresponding γ-lactam in those three natural products. The use of a pyrrole in an early stage of the synthesis offers the advantage of rapid construction of the key intermediates by exploiting its nucleophilicity.

Abstract
Our previous study has revealed 4-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)butan-1-one·2HCl (SYA013) 1 as a sigma ligand with moderate selectivity for the sigma-2 receptor. Given the overexpression of sigma receptors in solid tumors and reports of sigma ligands with anticancer activities, we selected 1 for evaluation in several solid tumor cell lines. In addition, we have synthesized new analogs of 1 and now report that several of them bind preferentially at the sigma-2 receptor and have shown inhibition of several cancer cell lines including MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-486, A549, PC-3, MIA PaCa-2 and Panc-1 cells. In particular, compounds 1 and 12 have demonstrated sub-micromolar activity against the Panc-1 cell line. It has also been observed that several of these compounds demonstrate selective toxicity toward cancer cells, when compared to normal cells.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that selective sigma-2 (σ2) ligands might be useful for the treatment of solid tumors. However, very few selective σ2 ligands have been identified. This study was aimed at identifying new selective σ2 receptor ligands using a previously identified agent, SYA 013 as a lead. Four groups, homopiperazine, piperazine, tropane and selected oxime analogs of the homopiperazines were identified, synthesized and subsequently screened at the σ1 and σ2 receptors. The results demonstrate that these scaffolds can be modified to obtain selective σ2 receptor ligands. 1-(5-Chloropyridin-2-yl)-4-(3-((4-fluorophenyl)thio)propyl)-1,4-diazepane, 7 and 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-(3-((2-fluorophenyl)thio)propyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ol, 21 were identified as the highest binding affinity ligands (σ2Ki = 2.2 nM) and (4-(4-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1,4-diazepan-1-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-butan-1-one oxime, 22 as a high affinity and the most selective ligand for the σ2 receptor (σ1Ki/σ2Ki = 41.8).

Abstract
The first total syntheses of the stemona alkaloids bisdehydroneostemoninine and bisdehydrostemoninine in racemic forms have been achieved. The synthetic strategy features a novel palladium-catalyzed carbonylative spirolactonization of a hydroxycyclopropanol to rapidly construct the oxaspirolactone moiety. It also features a Lewis acid promoted tandem Friedel-Crafts cyclization and lactonization to form the 5-7-5 tricyclic core of the target stemona alkaloids.

Abstract
Analogues of the decahydrobenzoquinolin-5-one class of sigma (σ) receptor ligands were used to probe the structure-activity relationship trends for this recently discovered series of σ ligands. In all, 29 representatives were tested for σ and opioid receptor affinity, leading to the identification of compounds possessing improved σ1 selectivity and, for the first time in this series, examples possessing preferential σ2 affinity. Several structural features associated with these selectivity trends have been identified. Two analogues of improved selectivity were evaluated in a binding panel of 43 CNS-relevant targets to confirm their sigma receptor preference.

Abstract
The preparation of sp3-rich scaffolds to obtain more natural product-like libraries for incorporation into screening decks is challenging. Here, we describe the use of a Diels-Alder reaction between an enone and an azide-containing silyloxydiene to gain efficient access to complex tricyclic amine scaffolds. Derivatization of these scaffolds provided a library of 80 amines, amides, sulfonamides, quinolines and indolenines, all in >20 mg quantities and >90% purities. These library compounds displayed properties more similar to alkaloid natural products than to drugs and commercial drug-like libraries, as shown by a high proportion of sp3 carbon centers.

Abstract
Electrochemistry provides a powerful tool for the late-stage functionalization of complex lactams. A two-stage protocol for converting lactams, many of which can be prepared through the intramolecular Schmidt reaction of keto azides, is presented. In the first step, anodic oxidation in MeOH using a repurposed power source provides a convenient route to lactams bearing a methoxy group adjacent to nitrogen. Treatment of these intermediates with a Lewis acid in dichloromethane permits the regeneration of a reactive acyliminium ion that is then reacted with a range of nucleophilic species.

Abstract
Screening of small molecule libraries is an important aspect of probe and drug discovery science. Numerous authors have suggested that bioactive natural products are attractive starting points for such libraries, due to their structural complexity and sp3-rich character. Here, we describe the construction of a screening library based on representative members of four families of biologically active alkaloids (Stemonaceae, the structurally related cyclindricine and lepadiformine families, lupin, and Amaryllidaceae). In each case, scaffolds were based on structures of the naturally occurring compounds or a close derivative. Scaffold preparation was pursued following the development of appropriate enabling chemical methods. Diversification provided 686 new compounds suitable for screening. The libraries thus prepared had structural characteristics, including sp3 content, comparable to a basis set of representative natural products and were highly rule-of-five compliant.

Abstract
The title compound, C22H29NO4, a stemona alkaloid, is composed of two lactone rings (A and E), a six-membered ring (B), a pyrrole ring (C) and a seven-membered ring (D). The five-membered rings A and E exhibit envelope conformations (C atoms as flaps) while ring C is planar. Ring B exhibits a twist-chair conformation due to fusion with pyrrole ring C while ring D adopts a chair conformation. The junction between rings A and B is cis. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O interactions involving the two carbonyl groups, a methylene and a methyl group give rise to a three-dimensional network.

Abstract
Many compound screening collections are populated by members that possess a low degree of structural complexity. In an effort to generate compounds that are both complex and diverse, we have developed a strategy that uses natural products as a starting point for complex molecule synthesis. Herein we apply this complexity-to-diversity approach to abietic acid, an abundant natural product used commercially in paints, varnishes, and lacquers. From abietic acid we synthesize a collection of complex (as assessed by fraction of sp(3) -hybridized carbons and number of stereogenic centers) and diverse (as assessed by Tanimoto analysis) small molecules. The 84 compounds constructed herein, and those created through similar efforts, should find utility in a variety of biological screens.

Abstract
A convergent route featuring [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of a linchpin azepinopyrrolidine served to install two of the four contiguous stereocenters present in the tricyclic Stemona alkaloids sessilifoliamide and stemoamide. In addition to the first total synthesis of (-)-sessilifoliamide C, a potential biosynthetic relationship between the sessilifoliamides and previously reported Stemona alkaloids is presented.
