Introduction/Abstract

Rutaecarpine, a pentacyclic indolopyridoquinazolinone alkaloid isolated from the unripe fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa, has been reported as a potent inducer of CYP1A2 enzyme in rats. There are natural herbal supplements containing rutaecarpine that are designed to speed up the removal of caffeine (CYP1A2 substrate) from blood.
