This chapter provides an overview on bisindole alkaloids. The indole–indole and tryptamine–tryptamine type, and related alkaloids are discussed. Tryptamine–tryptamine type with an additional monoterpene unit and related alkaloids are briefly discussed. Corynanthe–tryptamine is constituted from the union of a tryptamine unit and a corynanthe moiety. They are found mainly in plants of the genus Strychnos, but have also been isolated from other genera of the Apocynaceae, Rubiaceae, and Loganiaceae families. The bisindole alkaloid longicaudatine, first detected in various Strychnos species by its characteristic reaction with ferric chloride or Ce(IV) reagents, was obtained in a number of instances with its isomer, bisnorC-alkaloid H (284), which also showed the same chromatographic and chromogenic properties.
