Annotation: Chemistry of heterocyclic compounds is a rapidly developing field of organic chemistry. Nitrogen heterocycles attract considerable attention because they are the key structural elements of various natural products, vitamins, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic functional materials. Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic molecules are particularly useful in medicinal chemistry, as they possess a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. Novel azetidine and pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline compounds have been synthesized and investigated in this work. In the first part, novel potentially biologically active 3-substituted azetidine derivatives were obtained, including 3-aryl-azetidin-3-yl acetic acid methyl ester derivatives which were investigated for their neuroprotective activity by in vitro assays. Multi-step synthetic pathways have also been developed for the synthesis of azetidin-3-yl derivatives with the fused bicyclic moieties starting from 1-Boc-azetidine-3-carboxylic acid. In the second part, the research work of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines is discused.  A novel one-pot synthesis method has been applied for the synthesis of functionalized 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines which were investigated for their anticancer activity. Furthermore, a novel synthetic route to the pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline ring system has been developed. This methodology has been further applied to the total synthesis of lamellarin G trimethyl ether.
