This PDF should answer your questions.

That's not the best phytochemistry article I've ever read... very general, no tabulations, nothing on concentrations of compounds. This may be accessible through the references but not all of us have free access to publications (unless you care to remind me of that method, I forget the name of the website).

Attached is an image of an interesting Zanthoxylum alkaloid - alfileramine - found in Z. punctatum of Puerto Rico, also known as "The Toothache Tree". Ref. Caolo, M.A.; Stermitz, F.R. Tetrahedron, 35 (1979), 1487 - 1492.

A new alkaloid, named alfileramine, has been isolated from Zanthoxylum punctatum. It represents the first alkaloid which has a structure closely related to the tetrahydrocannabinols.

THC structure attached for comparison.

popular in china as spice, so chances are you would find it in your local chinatown.
my local chinatown imho is a joke compared to nyc chinatown 1/100 perhaps, yet i saw it today in several different packaging.

Are you sure this is Zanthoxylum and not Aralia spinosa? Because both have the same common name "toothache tree" but very different habitats and most likely different chemical properties.
