Chapter 3 Noniridoid Bisindole Alkaloids

open access: yes, 1995
This chapter discusses that indole is a reactive nucleus prone to dimerization when it is isolated or a part of tryptamine or tryptophan, which themselves are reactive toward many functionalities. For these reasons, bisindoles, the majority of which are of iridoid origin, are frequently isolated in nature. Besides these “dimers,” there exists a growing
