Abstract
Recent progress in the synthesis of major constituents of the Amaryllidaceae family is reviewed. Total syntheses of pancratistatin, narciclasine, and their 7-deoxy- derivatives, 7-deoxypancratistatin and lycoricidine, respectively, are covered in detail. Also included are preparations of truncated derivatives and unnatural mimics of pancratistatin. The literature coverage begins with the publication of the last major review in 1996 and is complete through the fall of 2004.

4 Conclusion
Key words
total synthesis - Amaryllidaceae constituents (alkaloids) - unnatural and truncated derivatives
References 1 The pancratistatin, narciclasine, and lycoricidine group of natural products has collectively been referred to as ‘Amaryllidaceae alkaloids’ by most, if not all, synthetic chemists (Martin, Hudlicky, Keck, Polt, and others). Such nomenclature is not accurate, as these compounds do not contain basic nitrogen atoms. Another term used in the literature is ‘isocarbostyril’ (Pettit), a term which is not generally known in the synthetic community. To avoid further inaccuracies we will avoid both names in future publications and simply refer to these compounds as ‘constituents’.
