Benzoxazole alkaloids exhibit a diverse array of structures and interesting biological activities. In spite of the extensive research done on the synthesis and biology, till date there is no concise update on this class of alkaloids. This chapter summarizes the literature on benzoxazole alkaloids till March 2017, which covers their isolation, characterization, possible biosynthetic origins, biological activities, and major synthetic approaches.

- A new method for N-formylation using ethyl formate and various amines has been created, leveraging bio-catalysis.
- This process is simple and efficient, operating under mild conditions while allowing for a wide range of amines and the reuse of lipase.
- It is also scalable, producing high yields even in larger quantities.
In India, endemic goitre is present in sub-Himalayan region and in pockets in states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Gujarat. Being a public health problem amenable for prevention, the assessment of prevalence of endemic goitre in an area helps in understanding whether the preventive strategies under National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Program (NIDDCP) have any impact on the control of endemic goitre. Hence, the current study was carried out to determine the prevalence, distribution and factors associated with iodine deficiency goitre among 6-12-year-old children in a rural area in south Karnataka.
