A survey of literature revealed the isolation of triterpenoids, aliphatic alcohols, alkaloids and flavonoids from fruits, flowers, leaves, heartwood and stem bark and exudates polysaccharide from its gum. In biological investigation, the ethanolic extract of the stem bark exhibited antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory activities although it was devoid of antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antifertility, hypoglycemic and diuretic activities.
