Abstract
Monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) represent a major class of active ingredients from the plants of the genus Gelsemium. Gelsemium MIAs with diverse chemical structures can be divided into six categories: gelsedine-, gelsemine-, humantenine-, koumine-, sarpagine- and yohimbane-type. Additionally, gelsemium MIAs exert a wide range of bioactivities, including anti-tumour, immunosuppression, anti-anxiety, analgesia, and so on. Owing to their fascinating structures and potent pharmaceutical properties, these gelsemium MIAs arouse significant organic chemists' interest to design state-of-the-art synthetic strategies for their total synthesis. In this review, we comprehensively summarised recently reported novel gelsemium MIAs, potential pharmacological activities of some active molecules, and total synthetic strategies covering the period from 2013 to 2022. It is expected that this study may open the window to timely illuminate and guide further study and development of gelsemium MIAs and their derivatives in clinical practice.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), a multifaceted metabolic disorder if not managed properly leads to secondary complications. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one such complication caused by nerve damage that cannot be reversed but can be delayed. Recently, diabetes patients are using dietary supplements, although there remains a general skepticism about this practice. Curcumin (CUR), one such supplement can help prevent underlying low-grade inflammation in diabetes, but it is plagued by poor oral bioavailability. To better understand the role of bioavailability in clinical outcomes, we have tested double-headed nanosystems containing curcumin (nCUR) on DPN. Because CUR does not influence glucose levels, we have also tested the effects of nCUR combined with long-acting subcutaneous insulin (INS). nCUR with or without INS alleviates DPN at two times lower dose than unformulated CUR, as indicated by qualitative and quantitative analysis of the hind paw, sciatic nerve, spleen, and L4-6 spinal cord. In addition, nCUR and nCUR+INS preserve hind paw nerve axons as evident by the Bielschowsky silver stain and intraepidermal nerve fibers (IENF) density measured by immunofluorescence. The mechanistic studies further corroborated the results, where nCUR or nCUR+INS showed a significant decrease in TUNEL positive cells, mRNA expression of NLRP3, IL-1β, and macrophage infiltration while preserving nestin and NF200 expression in the sciatic nerve. Together, the data confirms that CUR bioavailability is proportional to clinical outcomes and INS alone may not be one of the solutions for DM. This study highlights the potential of nCUR with or without INS in alleviating DPN and warrants further investigation.
