Rutecarpine or rutaecarpine is a COX-2 inhibitor isolated from Tetradium ruticarpum, a tree native to China.[1] It is classified as a non-basic alkaloid.[2]

In contrast to synthetic COX-2 inhibitors like etoricoxib and celecoxib, rutecarpine does not appear to cause negative effects on the cardiovascular system.[3]

Metabolism

Microsome studies suggest that rutaecarpine may be at least a weak inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4 enzymes.[4][5] At the same time, it is believed to be a strong inducer of CYP1A2 and CYP1A1.[6]

Rutecarpine metabolism is complex and proceeds along several routes, primarily involving the addition of a single hydroxyl group by CYP3A4. Six monohydroxylated and four dihydroxylated metabolites have been identified. To a much lesser extent, rutecarpine may be metabolized by CYP2C9 and CYP1A2, according to liver microsome studies.[7]

Supplementation

Rutecarpine has been shown to decrease the overall bioavailability of caffeine in rats by up to 80 percent,[8] likely through induction of enzymes CYP1A2 and CYP2E1.[9]
