Abstract

Abstract: Cotarnine is an important organic molecule having tetrahydroisoquinoline core. Cotarnine core exhibits very important biological property. Its biological property changes by correct functionalization of core structure to form new molecules. Herein we describe the developments of chemistry of cotarnine and its derivatives in terms of property, synthesis, reactivity and biological application from scratch to complex core. This review will update the information about cotarnine chemistry and its application for synthesis of different bioactive product.
