| Rutaecarpine Usage And Synthesis |
| 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. |
