Bouchardatine (1), a naturally occurring β-indoloquinazoline alkaloid, was synthesized. For the first time, the lipid-lowering effect and mechanism of 1 was investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our study showed that 1 could significantly reduce lipid accumulation without cytotoxicity and mainly inhibited early differentiation of adipocyte through proliferation inhibition and cell cycle arrested in dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the inhibition of early differentiation was reflected by down-regulation of key regulators of adipogenesis/lipogenesis, including CCAAT enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPβ, C/EBPδ, C/EBPα), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors γ (PPARγ) and sterol-regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), in both of mRNA and protein levels. Subsequently decreasing the protein levels of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and stearyl coenzyme A desaturated enzyme 1 (SCD-1), the rate-limited metabolic enzymes of fatty acid synthesis, were also observed. Further studies revealed that 1 persistently activated adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) during differentiation, suggesting that the AMPK may be an upstream mechanism for the effect of 1 on adipogenesis and lipogenesis. Our data suggest that 1 can be a candidate for the development of new therapeutic drugs against obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Syntheses of both enantiomers of chrysogine, 2-(α-hydroxyethyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone, 1 from 2-ammobenzamide are reported. Thus reaction of 2-aminobenzamide and optically active α-acetoxypropionyl chloride gave 9, which upon saponification and cyclization induced by aqueous sodium carbonate at room temperature gave chrysogine. The enantiomeric purity of 1 was determined by NMR. Inversion of (-)-(S)-1, using the Mitsunobo reaction, gave (+)-(R)-1. Reduction of 2-acetyl-4(3H)-qumazolinone 2 with baker's yeast gave the S-enantiomer of 1. The cyclization method used could be extended and a number of 2-(a-hydroxy)alkyl-4-(3H)-quinazolinones are also reported.
