| Research Abstract |
Using a small invertebrate, C. elegans, and its mutant or transgenic strains, bioactivities of various compounds and the underlying mechanism were investigated. An herbal medicine Evodia rutaecarpa and its constituents, evodiamine and rutaecarpine, were found to inhibit Ras/MAP kinase pathway in C. elegans. Cacao procyanidines were found
