Studies on the alkaloid constituents of <i>Evodia rutaecarpa</i> (Juss) Benth var. <i>bodinaieri</i> (Dode) Huang and their acute toxicity in mice

Abstract

Six alkaloids (1-6) have been isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss) Benth var. bodinaieri (Dode) Huang, two of which are new compounds, identified as 2-undecyl-4(1H)-quinolone (4) and 1-methyl-2-undecanone-10'-4(1H)-quinolone (5); the known compounds were identified as rutaecarpine (1), evodiamine (2), 1-methyl-2-undecyl-4(1H)-quinoline (3) and 2-undecanone-10'-4(1H)-quinolone (6). Compounds 1-5 were evaluated for their acute toxicity.
