Alkamides can be readily detected by organoleptic means, by placing a very small quantity on the tongue. The initial sharp sensation and saliva production is followed by a local anaesthetic or numbing effect. Not surprisingly many are associated with management of toothache—Spilanthes and Zanthoxylum spp. are both known in their respective regions as toothache plant . 

Another Rutaceous plant with a similar alkaloidal spectrum to rue is prickly ash bark—Zanthoxylum spp. Two new quinoline alkaloids isolated from Zanthoxylum simulans were shown to have cytotoxic and antiplatelet activities (Chen et al. 1994). 

Arnottianamide, isoarnottianamide, and iwamide are three unusual amidic alkaloids present in Zanthoxylum spp. (Rutaceae). They are clearly related to the benzophenanthridines, but possess an open ring C. 

The Rutaceae are a common source of benzophenanthridine alkaloids. Recent investigations of some Formosan and Japanese Zanthoxylum spp. (Rutaceae) yielded two colorless and phenolic amides, arnottianamide and isoarnottianamide. Both compounds analyze for CaiHigNOg and are optically inactive.
