A general route to oxoindolizino quinolines , such as nothapodytine A, mappicine, camptothecin, and several chemotherapeutic derivatives, is illustrated by the synthesis of the antiviral natural product from Nothapodytes foetida , mappicine ketone (R 1 =R 4 =H, R 2 =CH 3 , R 3 =COC 2 H 5 ). A wide range of new camptothecinoids should now be readily available for biological testing.
