An alkaloid with diverse biological activities
Dehydroevodiamine is an alkaloid that has been isolated from E. rutaecarpa and has anti-inflammatory, antiarrhythmic, hypotensive, and anti-amnesic biological activities.1,2,3,4 It inhibits LPS-induced secretion of prostaglandin E2 in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages when used at a concentration of 30 μM.1 Dehydroevodiamine (0.1-0.3 μM) reduces the upstroke velocity, action potential amplitude, and contractile force of electrically-stimulated primary human atrial trabeculae.2 In vivo, dehydroevodiamine (10 mg/kg) decreases mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) by approximately 30% in rats.3 Dehydroevodiamine (1.5 mg/kg) also inhibits amnesia induced by amyloid-β (25-35) and increases latency to step-through in a passive avoidance test in mice.4
