Synopsis

The chapter describes the synthesis and biological properties of spiroheterocycles derived from tryptanthrin, a natural quinazoline alkaloid possessing numerous biological properties. Spiroheterocycles were prepared through multicomponent reactions following green protocols and were evaluated for antibacterial and anticancer properties. The noticeable potential of these molecules warrants further attention to natural quinazoline alkaloid derivatives as sources for lead compounds.
