Bouchardatine (1), a naturally occurring β-indoloquinazoline alkaloid, was synthesized. For the first time, the lipid-lowering effect and mechanism of1was investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our study showed that1could 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 that1persistently activated adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) during differentiation, suggesting that the AMPK may be an upstream mechanism for the effect of1on adipogenesis and lipogenesis. Our data suggest that1can be a candidate for the development of new therapeutic drugs against obesity and related metabolic disorders.
