Abstract:
A phytochemical investigation of limonoids and quinoline alkaloids from
Evodia rutaecarpa (
E.rutaecarpa) was carried out systematically. A total of 11 limonoids including a new compound 6
α-acetoxyl-12
α-hydroxyevodol
1 , together with three known methylbutyl quinoline alkaloids, were isolated from the unripe fruits of the title plant. The structure of
1 was determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. Methylbutyl quinoline alkaloids were reported from
E. rutaecarpa for the first time.
