Abstract
Cytochalasans are a group of fungal-derived natural products characterized by a perhydro-isoindolone core fused with a macrocyclic ring, and they exhibit a high structural diversity and a broad spectrum of bioactivities. Cytochalasans have attracted significant attention from the chemical and pharmacological communities and have been reviewed previously from various perspectives in recent years. However, continued interest in the cytochalasans and the number of laboratory investigations on these compounds are both growing rapidly. This contribution provides a general overview of the isolation, structural determination, biological activities, biosynthesis, and total synthesis of cytochalasans. In total, 477 cytochalasans are covered, including “merocytochalasans” that arise by the dimerization or polymerization of one or more cytochalasan molecules with one or more other natural product units. This contribution provides a comprehensive treatment of the cytochalasans, and it is hoped that it may stimulate further work on these interesting natural products.
