Abstract: Pyrroloisoquinoline derivatives constitute an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds known for their remarkable antitumor activity. Many of their synthetic intermediates also exhibit favorable biological activities, attracting widespread attention from researchers in chemistry, biology, and medicine. In recent years, studies on the synthesis of pyrrolodihydroisoquinolines and their analogs using tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives as starting materials have become increasingly active. This paper summarizes the major research advances in relevant synthetic strategies, providing a reference for the synthesis and application of pyrroloisoquinoline derivatives.
