The present invention provides methods of preparing monomeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, including the antiparasitic korupensamines and related compounds, as well as non-korupensamines and other monomeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids. The present invention also provides methods of preparing dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids by coupling together two monomeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, each of which may be the same or different, and one, both, or neither of which may possess a C-8' to C-5 naphthalene/isoquinoline linkage, to form homodimers or heterodimers, including the antiviral michellamines. The present invention further provides new, medically useful monomeric naphthylisoquinoline compounds and homodimeric and heterodimeric naphthylisoquinoline compounds and derivatives thereof.
