Heterocyclic chemistry is one of the most valuable sources of novel compounds with diverse biological activity, mainly because of the unique ability of the resulting compounds to mimic the structure of peptides and to bind reversibly to proteins. To medicinal chemists, the true utility of heterocyclic structures is the ability to synthesize one library based on one core scaffold and to screen it against a variety of different receptors, yielding several active compounds. Almost unlimited combinations of fused heterocyclic structures can be designed, resulting in novel polycyclic frameworks with the most diverse physical, chemical and biological properties. The fusion of several rings lead to geometrically well-defined rigid polycyclic structures and, thus, holds the promise of a high functional specialization resulting from the ability to orient substituents in three dimensional space. Therefore, efficient methodologies resulting in polycyclic structures from biologically active heterocyclic templates are always of interest to both organic and medicinal chemists.

Compounds with heterocyclic rings are inextricably woven into the most basic biochemical processes of life. If one were to choose a step in a biochemical pathway at random there would be a very good chance that one of the reactants or products would be a heterocyclic compound. Even if this was not true, participation of heterocycles in the reaction in question would almost be certain as all biochemical transformations are catalyzed by enzymes, and three of the twenty amino acids found in enzymes contain heterocyclic rings. Of these, the imidazole ring of histidine in particular would be likely to be involved; histidine is present at the active sites of many enzymes and usually functions as a general acid-base or as a metal ion ligand. Furthermore, many enzymes function only in the presence of certain small non–amino acid molecules called coenzymes (or cofactor), which more often than not are heterocyclic compounds. But even if the enzyme in question contained none of these coenzymes or the three amino acids referred to above, an essential role would still be played by heterocycles as all enzymes are synthesized according to the code in DNA, which of course is defined by the sequence of the heterocyclic bases found in DNA.

Chemotherapy concerns the treatment of infectious, parasitic or malignant diseases by chemical agents, usually substances that show selective toxicity towards the pathogen. The diseases of bodily dysfunction and the agents employed are mainly compounds that affect the functioning of enzymes, the transmission of nerve impulses or the action of hormones on receptors. Heterocyclic compounds are used for all these purposes because they have a specific chemical reactivity for example epoxides, aziridines and β-lactams, because they resemble essential metabolites and can provide false synthons in biosynthetic processes, for example antimetabolites used in the treatment of cancer and virus diseases because they fit biological receptors and block their normal working, or because they provide convenient building blocks to which biologically active substituents can be attached. The introduction of heterocyclic groups into drugs may affect their physical properties, for example the dissociation constants of sulfa drugs, or modify their patterns of absorption, metabolism or toxicity.

Many significant discoveries have been made, however, by the rational development of observation of biological activity made by chance in work designed for other ends, or during the clinical use of drugs introduced for other purposes. The theoretical basis of medicinal chemistry has become much more sophisticated, but is naïve to suppose that the discovery of drugs is merely a matter of structure-activity relationships. The success of a medicinal agent depends on the balance between its desirable pharmacological effects and the harm it may otherwise do to a patient, and this cannot yet be predicated with certainty. Serendipity and luck will doubtless continue to play an important part in new discoveries.

Indole alkaloids are bicyclic compounds that consist of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered pyrrole ring. Due to the inclusion of a nitrogen atom in the pyrrole ring, indole alkaloids possess basic properties that make them pharmacologically active. Indole alkaloids can be found in many plant families, including Loganiaceae, Apocynaceae, Nyssaceae, and Rubiaceae. Major indole alkaloids isolated from plants include active molecules with powerful effects against lung diseases, such as vincristine, vinblastine, and others, and vincristine are among the most prominent indole alkaloidal compounds, which all show potential benefits for the treatment of patients with pulmonary diseases, such as tuberculosis, asthma, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and cancer.

However, a few of these compounds have demonstrated toxic consequences. In addition, a single administration of alkaloids isolated from Alstonia scholaris strongly affected mouse behavior at a dose of 12.8 g/kg body weight (BW) when administered in a prone position, which resulted in wheezing, shortness of breath, and convulsions in rats. Vinblastine, derived from Catharanthus roseus, is a vinca alkaloid with antineoplastic activity that has also demonstrated adverse effects on the body, such as extreme allergic reactions, severe bleeding, bone marrow toxicity, inflammation, bone pain, blood in the urine, constipation, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, acute shortness of breath, lack of appetite, and deep ulcers. Some compounds have been tested clinically to verify the therapeutic efficacy established in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Alkaloids are the most significant secondary metabolites and have been used for over 4000 years and due to their enormous therapeutic potential (Amirkia and Heinrich, 2014). In 1818, alkaloids were first described by.

Meissner, who use the term to describe all organic molecules derive from plant sources that could be distinguished as presenting basic characteristics (Preininger, 1975). Alkaloids can be classified into many subgroups depending on their structures, including indoles, quinolines, isoquinolines, pyridines, pyrrolidines, pyrrolizidines, tropanes, steroids, and terpenoids. Among these various types of alkaloids, indole alkaloids represent a heterogeneous collection of nitrogen-containing molecules and many varieties of this class of alkaloid exist. Due to the myriad varieties that have been identified, many subsequent subgroups have since been differentiated, including yohimbans (reserpine, yohimbine, and deserpidine), strychnos alkaloids (strychnine, brucine, and vomicine),heteroyohimbans (ajmalicine and reserpine), vinca alkaloids (vinblastine, vincristine, and vinflunine), kratom alkaloids (mitragynine), ergolines/clavinet alkaloids (ergine, ergotamine, and lysergic acid), beta-carbolines (harmine and harmaline), tryptamines (psilocybin and serotonin), and Tabernanthe iboga alkaloids (ibogaine, coronaridine, and voacangine). These indole alkaloids can be found in species from over 30 botanical families, such as Apocynaceae, Passifloraceae, Loganiaceae, and Rubiaceae, in addition to fungi.
