Dihydroevocarpine shows potent anti-Helicobacter pylori activity with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 10-20 microg/ml. Dihydroevocarpine is a moderate modulator of p-glycoprotein (p-gp) activity; it shows more potent inhibitory effects against MAO-B compared to MAO-A.

Cytotoxicity was measured in a cell proliferation assay against CCRF-CEM leukemia cells and their p-gp over-expressing subline CEM/ADR5000. An assay monitoring the p-gp-dependent accumulation of the dye calcein in porcine brain capillary endothelial cells (PBCECs) was used to study interactions of the test substances with this efflux pump. Rutaecarpine and evodiamine showed quite high toxicity with IC (50) values from 2.64 to 4.53 microM and were weak modulators of p-gp activity[1]
