The fruit of Evodia officinalis (Rutaceae) is known for containing a number of indoloquinazoline and quinoline type alkaloids. Evodiamine, evocarpine and rutaecarpine are the major constituents of Evodiae Fructus. These alkaloids were isolated and determined by forming complex compounds from Evodiea Fructus. For the determination of these alkaloids, a new spectrophotometric method was developed with a simple and selective sample clean-up using thiocyanatocobaltate [II] complex ion. The absorbance of alkaloidal complex in 1.2-dichloroethane solution was measured at 625 nm. A calibration curve for the alkaloids isolated from Evodia Fruit was linear over the concentration range of $1.0{\sim}6.0\;mg/ml$. The method proved to be rapid, simple and reliable for the isolation and the determination of the alkaloids in Evodiae Fructus.

Eighteen methanol extracts of herb-medicine used for malarial and antipyretic therapies in Korea were assessed for their antimalarial activities. Eighteen extracts showed evident antimalarial activity with $EC_50$ values ranged from $2.8\;to\;110mg/m{\ell}$. Evodia fructus showed the antimalarial activity of $EC_50\;=\;4.1\;mg/m{\ell}$ and higher selective toxicity(>8) with no cytotocixity for mammalian cells. This indicated that Evodia fructus is potent for a new effective and safe antimalarial agent. The methanol extract of Physalli radix had also strongest antiplasmodial activity with $EC_50$ value of $2.8{\mu}g/m{\ell}$.

Evodia daniellii $H_{EMSLEY}$ (Rutaceae) is cultivated in Korea and used as a folkmedicine for gastric inflammation, extermination of noxious insects, headache and antiinflammatory. The seed oil of this plant also has been used in various diseases, for example, dermatitis, scabies and so forth. Fructus Evodiae seed oil sterols were obtained from the nonsaponifiable matters of ethereal extract of the seed. The composition of sterols have been determined by gas liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography on the preparative plates. It was noted that ${\beta}-sitosterol$ was the major sterols in the Evodia daniellii $H_{EMSLEY}$ in Korea. The results showed that contents of Evodia daniellii $H_{EMSLEY}$ sterols were campesterol 14.01%, stigmasterol 4.36%, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ 71.26%, ${\delta}^7-sterol$ 9.21% and unknown sterol 1.16% by method of triangulation and campesterol 13.02%, stigmasterol 3.87%, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ 74.34%, ${\delta}^7-sterol$ 8.67% and unknown sterol 1.85% by method of planimetry.

Evodiae Fructus is the dried unripe fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa, and has traditionally been used for treating stomachache and diarrhea. Evodiamine and rutaecarpine, the major biologically active compounds of Evodiae Fructus, are reported to have anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as inhibit proliferation and metastasis of various cancer cells. The current study investigates the anti-oxidative and anti-cancer effects of the Evodiae Fructus extract, considering varying concentrations of methanol extraction (40, 80, and 95%). High contents of total phenolic compounds were determined in the order of extracts 80, 95, and 40%. Evaluating contents of the 95, 80, and 40% extracts revealed 36.77, 7.29, and 1.86 ㎍/mg evodiamine, respectively, and 53.02, 17.16, and 3.79 ㎍/mg rutaecarpine, respectively, with the highest content of both compounds obtained in the 95% extract. DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed to be inversely proportional to the contents of total phenolic compounds, with decreasing SC₅₀ values obtained in the order 80, 95, and 40% extract. The 95 and 80% extracts exerted toxicity to AGS gastric cancer cells, but the 40% extract was non-toxic. Evodiamine is a known anti-cancer agent, and could be responsible for the observed toxicity. Cleavage of PARP, and Caspase-3, -7, -8 and -9 was observed in the 95% extract-treated AGS cells, indicating that cell toxicity exerted by the 95% extract could be attributed to apoptosis.

The MeOH extract of Evodiae Fructus exhibited a significant inhibition on the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), in a dose dependent manner, respectively. The extensive bioactivity-guided fractionation process with the MeOH extract finally isolated four compounds, as rutaecarpine (1), evodiamine (2), limonin (3) and dehydroevodiamine (4). Among them, compound 2 exhibited specific inhibitory activity on BChE with the $IC_{50}$ values 1.7 ${\mu}g/ml$, whereas compound 4 showed the potent inhibition upon both AChE and BChE.

Evodiae Fructus has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of gastro- intestinal disorders, headache and migraine, and as a cardiotonic and analgesic. For the quality control of this crude drug, evodiamine was isolated from the methylene chloride extract of Evodia officinalis (Rutaceae) and identified by the spectroscopic evidences. A quantitative analysis of evodiamine using HPLC method exhibited that the average contents of evodiamine were $0.84{\pm}0.60%$ in 53 samples collected throughout the various regions of Korea.

The Pharmacologic action of ethanol extracts and essential substance obtained from fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa are studied. 1) Motility of the isolated rabbit-intestine was decreased in proportion to the concentration of essential substance. 2) Intestinal contraction induced by acetylcholine 10? 6g/ml was inhibited by the essential substance $10^{-5}g/ml$. 3) Contractile responses of the isolated rabbit-intestine by serotonin $10^{-5}g/ml$ and histamine $10^{-5}g/ml$ were depressed significantly with the essential substance $10^{-5}g/ml$. 4) Alpha adrenergic receptor blocking effect of dihydroergotamine was interfered significantly with the essential substance. 5) Analgesic effect in mice by acetic acid stimulating method was observed significantly with both of the ethanol extracts and essential substance. 6) Blood pressure and respiration of the rabbits were not significantly influenced with the essential substance.

위에 군집을 형성하는 그람 음성 박테리아인 Helicobacter pylori는 위암을 일으킬 수 있는 1급 발암 인자로, H. pylori의 성장을 억제하거나 제거하는 물질을 탐색하는 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 왔다. 오수유는 운향과에 속하는 오수유의 열매를 일컫는 생약으로 한방에서는 설사 및 복통에 사용되던 약재이다. 오수유 추출물이 H. pylori의 성장을 억제한다는 보고는 있었으나 병원성 요인에 어떤 영향을 주는지에 대한 연구는 보고된 바가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 각기 다른 메탄올 농도에서 추출한 오수유 추출물의 H. pylori 성장 억제 효과를 비교하였으며 또한 오수유 추출물이 H. pylori의 병원성 인자에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 95% 메탄올 오수유 추출물이 가장 낮은 최소저해농도(MIC) 값을 보였으며, 이 95% 추출물을 대상으로 하여 MIC 미만 농도에서 H. pylori의 병원성 인자의 발현 변화를 확인하였다. 95% 메탄올 오수유 추출물은 H. pylori의 주요 병원성 인자인 cagA, vacA 그리고 ureB의 mRNA 및 단백질의 발현을 억제하였으나 흥미롭게도 ureA의 발현은 증가시켰다. 하지만 H. pylori의 배양액과 세포내의 암모니아의 량이 현저히 낮아졌음을 확인하였고, 이는 오수유 추출물이 ureB의 mRNA 및 단백질의 발현을 억제하여 H. pylori의 urease 활성을 억제한다는 것을 확인하였다. 오수유 추출물의 병원성 인자 조절 기전에 대해서는 좀 더 연구가 필요할 것으로 보이나, 본 연구 결과는 오수유 추출물이 H. pylori로 인한 부정적 영향을 줄여줄 것으로 생각한다.
