Marine cyanobacteria are a prolific source of bioactive natural products. The welwitindolinones are a group of structurally unique metabolites isolated from cyanobacteria, containing 3,4-bridged or spiro cyclobutaneoxindole moieties. Due to their challenging structures and their broad spectrum of biological activities, these compounds have attracted the attention of synthetic chemists for some time, although so far their complexity has prevented the completion of total syntheses for most of these natural products. This chapter is devoted to a discussion of the current knowledge about the occurrence, biological properties, biosynthesis and synthetic approaches to the welwitindolinones.
