1-Isoindolinone scaffold-based natural products with a promising diverse bioactivity.

Isoindolin-1-one or 1-isoindolinone framework is referred to phthalimidines or benzo fused γ-lactams of the corresponding γ-amino carboxylic acids and has been of prime interest for scientists for last several decades. 1-Isoindolinone framework is found in a wide range of naturally occurring compounds with diverse biological activities and therapeutic potential for various chronic diseases. Recent developments in synthetic methods for their procurement have opened a new era of 1-isoindolinone chemistry. This review aims to provide an alphabetical quick reference guide to only 1-isoindolinone based natural products and its variable fused, oxidized and reduced state skeleton with information for advanced chemotaxonomic analyses, cellular targets/pathways and diverse biological activities and future use for medicinal chemistry.
