Bisindole alkaloids isolated from plants belonging to the families Apocynaceae and Loganiaceae, including Iboga-vobasine type, Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma type, eburnan-Aspidosperma type, Strychnos-Strychnos type, macroline-macroline type, and so on, are described. Some recent syntheses of monoterpenoid bisindole alkaloids are outlined as well.
