ResumoCyclopeptide alkaloids are polyamidic basic substances found in many families of plants, with over 200 individual compounds known. Over the past 40 years, many reviews on the history, occurrence, isolation, classification, physical and spectral data, structural determination, synthesis, biosynthesis, and bioactivity of cyclopeptide alkaloids, including three chapters in Volumes 15 (1975), 26 (1985), and 49 (1997) of this series, have been published. In this review, the cyclopeptide alkaloids sensu stricto, their plant origin, structure elucidation and stereochemistry, synthesis, biosynthesis, and their biological activities, discovered from higher plants from 1996 to mid-2008 are discussed.
