Abstract:
The triterpenoids Daphniphyllum alkaloids share the unique fused hexacyclic ring framework are isolated from the genus Daphniphyllum. These natural products possess comprehensive biological activities and exhibit excellent potential medicinal appliment. This review covers the reported isolation studies and biological activities of Daphniphyllum alkaloids spanning the period from 1966 to the beginning of 2020, In the meantime, the total synthesis of Daphniphyllum alkaloids will be emphatically summarized for supplement over this review series.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
