This review focuses on the total synthesis of lundurines A-C. Their main structural feature is a unique cyclopropa[b]indole core that has been found only in these alkaloids. In addition to this characteristic structure, the biological activity makes them as attractive synthetic targets. However, almost two decades passed from their isolation and structural determination in 1995 to their first total synthesis. The first part of this review summarizes the synthetic approaches to the tri- and tetracyclic ring systems of lundurine as well as an inter-and intramolecular cyclopropanation strategy that gives the cyclopropa[b]indole core. The second part presents a detailed description of four total syntheses that were reported from 2014 to 2016. In addition, the asymmetric total synthesis of the related alkaloids grandilodine C and lapidilectine B is described.
