“…Several club mosses of the family Lycopodiaceae have been used in Chinese Traditional Medicine to treat various illnesses such as strains, contusions swellings, scalds, rheumatic fever, schizophrenia, and myasthenia gravis. 1 Lycopodiaceae plants occupies the wide range of habitats and exhibits a diversity of life forms that include vines, small deciduous semi-aquatics, robust scrambling and clump-forming terrestrials and pendent epiphytes in Himalayan region of China and India, Andean region of South America; 2 also in New Zealand, Australia 3 and Malaysia. 4 Active alkaloids are found in areal part of plants.…”

Since long back, many Lycopodiaceae or Huperziaceae plants species like Lycopodium clavatum L. serratum, Huperzia serrata, H. carinata, Phlegmariurus squarrosus and P. henryi are being traditionally used in treatment of diseases like Alzheimer's disease and myasthenia gravis. In pursuit of pharmacologically active molecules, here AChE inhibitors present in any of widely used Lycopodiaceae or Huperziaceae plants species, several researchers successfully isolated hundreds of Lycopidium alkaloids, grouped into four classes, one of which is fawcettimine. This review enlisted all fawcettimine alkaloids, isolation and total laboratory synthesis of which have been reported since 2011 (for ex. fawcettimine, lycoflexine, and lycoposerramine B, Lycopoclavamine-A). It can be concluded that, fawcettimine molecule can used as main nucleus which can used as precursor for synthesize new pharmacologically active moieties.
