From the diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) activity-guided fractionation, a new quinolone alkaloid, 1-methyl-2-tetradecyl-4(1H)-quinolone (1) was isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa together with three known quinolone alkaloids, evocarpine (2), 1-methyl-2-[(4 Z,7 Z)-4,7-decadienyl]-4(1H)-quinolone (3) and 1-methyl-2-[(6 Z,9 Z)-6,9-pentadecadienyl]-4(1 H)-quinolone (4). They showed a dose-dependent DGAT inhibition with IC 50 values of 69.5 microM ( 1), 23.8 microM (2), 20.1 microM (3) and 13.5 mu (4).
