A simple, sensitive and accurate liquid chromatographic method with photodiode-array detection was developed for determination of dehydroevodiamine with detection wavelength at 368 nm and column temperature at 30 degrees C. The separation was carried out on an Agilent Zorbax SB-C(18) column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) together with a C(18) guard column. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (containing 30 mM sodium acetate trihydrate and 0.15% acetic acid) in the ratio of 30:70 (v/v) delivered at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Excellent linear behavior was observed over the concentration range investigated, with correlation coefficient (R(2))=0.9998. This validated method was applied to determine the contents of dehydroevodiamine in 36 samples from different regions of China, and hierarchical clustering analysis was firstly used to classify and differentiate Evodia rutaecarpa samples. The analysis is specific and can be successfully applied to analyze E. rutaecarpa which is helpful for quality control of the herb.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used antitumor drug; however, its use is limited by the risk of serious cardiotoxicity. Dehydroevodiamine (DHE) is a quinazoline alkaloid which has antiarrhythmic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of DHE on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and its potential mechanism.

This study rapidly identified and quantified the chemical components of the Wuzhuyu Decoction nanophase(WZYD-N) and suspension phase(WZYD-S) using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(UPLC-QQQ-MS/MS). Based on preliminary pharmacodynamic experiments and network pharmacology analysis, the differential anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of WZYD-N and WZYD-S were explored to understand their pharmacodynamic basis. WZYD-N and WZYD-S were separated by differential centrifugation-dialysis, and their particle size, Zeta potential, PDI, and morphology were characterized by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers screened and prepared acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors from the plant Evodia rutaecarpa, focusing on three key alkaloids: dehydroevodiamine, evodiamine, and rutecarpine.
  • They improved extraction methods by combining traditional response surface methodology with a genetic algorithm, and utilized high-speed countercurrent chromatography to isolate these active compounds.
  • The study confirmed the structures of these compounds through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and validated their neuroprotective properties against cell damage, setting the stage for future development of AChE inhibitors.

Background: The existence of pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs) results in limited survival benefits from current treatment options. There is a scarcity of effective agents for treating pancreatic cancer patients. Dehydroevodiamine (DeHE), a quinazoline alkaloid isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Evodiae fructus, exhibited potent inhibition of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell proliferation and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.
