Two serotonin derivatives, N,N-dimethylserotonin 5-O-β-glucoside (1a) and N-methylserotonin 5-O-β-glucoside (1b) were isolated from immature seeds of Zanthoxylum piperitum. Their structures were determined by multi-step conversion reactions and spectroscopic analyses. Immature seeds of Z. piperitum contained extremely high levels of compounds 1a and 1b of approximately 0.29% and 0.15% (w/w), respectively.

Monosodium urate crystal accumulation in the joints is the cause of gout, an inflammatory arthritis that is initiated by elevated serum uric acid levels. It is the most prevalent form of inflammatory arthritis, affecting millions worldwide, and requires effective treatments. The necessity for alternatives with fewer side effects is underscored by the frequent adverse effects of conventional therapies, such as urate-lowering drugs.

Article Synopsis
- Zanthoxylum is an economically important tree used for various purposes, including spices and medicines, and has a long cultivation history in China leading to many cultivars, but mixed cultivars and names hinder its effective use.
- A study analyzed the genetic traits of 80 Zanthoxylum cultivars using molecular markers, resulting in unique DNA fingerprints that revealed significant genetic diversity among the accessions.
- Genetic differentiation among populations showed notable divergence, with 65% of genetic variation within individuals and 35% among populations, indicating a need for further cultivar identification and resource management.

Japanese pepper (sansho, ) contains several types of sanshools belonging to -alkylamides. Because of the long-chain unsaturated fatty acids present in their structure, sanshools are prone to oxidative deterioration, which poses problems in processing. In this paper, we evaluated the effects of antioxidants from the genus in preventing sanshool degradation using accelerated tests.

(Sichuan pepper), with its rich cultivars, has long been widely cultivated in China for its unique seasoning and medicinal uses, but most of its cultivars have similar morphological characteristics. Therefore, we hypothesized that the genetic diversity of cultivars is low because of their apomixis and long cultivation history. In this study, we aimed to investigate the genetic diversity of three species on the cultivar level based on express sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) primers.
