Catharanthine, an iboga-type indole alkaloid isolated from Catharanthus roseus, features a pentacyclic framework with three stereocenters. As a key structural fragment of the anticancer drugs vinblastine and its analogue vincristine, its complex and unique chemical architecture has made it a hotspot in synthetic studies. In recent years, its complete biosynthetic pathway has been elucidated and functionally reconstructed in heterologous systems, such as yeast and Nicotiana benthamiana. Since 1969, 18 research groups have reported chemical syntheses of catharanthine, encompassing racemic, asymmetric, and biomimetic syntheses, as well as various transition-metal-catalyzed approaches. This review chronologically summarizes the advances in both the biosynthesis and chemical synthesis of catharanthine and offers perspectives on future research directions.
