| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
This alkaloid occurs with Evodiamine (q.v.) in the Chinese drug 'Wou-chou-yu'
which is the dried fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa Benth. It crystallizes from boiling
EtOH as colourless, or pale yellow, needles and is optically inactive. The acetyl
derivative has m.p. 184-6°C and the benzoyl compound, m.p. 194°C. The
alkaloid gives a yellow colour with concentrated H2S04 and is decomposed by
KOH in boiling amyl alcohol yielding anthranilic acid and 3-{3-aminoethylindole-
2-O!carboxylic acid, CllH120 2N2, silky crystals, m.p. 257°C.
Pharmacologically, the alkaloid causes increased arterial pressure on injection. | [Chemical Properties]
Solid | [Uses]
Rutaecarpine is an indole alkaloid contained in the fruit of Evodiae fruits. It been shown to ameliorate bodyweight gain through orexigenic neuropeptides NPY and AgRP. It also playes a role in the treatment of high blood pressure | [Definition]
ChEBI:Rutecarpine is a member of beta-carbolines. | [in vivo]
Rutaecarpine showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity on rat l-carrageenan induced paw edema by intraperitoneal administration[1]. Rutaecarpine significantly decreases the number of antibody-forming cells and causes weight decrease in spleen in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, rutaecarpine administered mice exhibit reduced splenic cellularity, decreased numbers of total T cells, CD4+ cells, CD8+ cells, and B cells in spleen. IL-2, interferon and IL-10 mRNA expressions are suppressed significantly by rutaecarpine treatment. The number of CD4+IL-2+ cells is reduced significantly following administration of mice with rutaecarpine[3]. | [IC 50]
