==Chemical Composition==
Seed contains anthraquinones,namely; Polysaccharide Arabin (aurantio-obtusinMixture of calcium, chrysomagnesium and potassium salts of arabic acid).Arabic acid on hydrolysis gives D-obtusingalactose,obtusin, chrysoobtusinL-2-O-beta-glucosidearabinose,physcion,emodin,chrysophanol,obtusifolin,obtusifolin-2-O-betaL-rhamnose and D-glucoside, alaternin 2-O-β-Dglucopyranoside)15, brassinosteroids(brassinolide, castasterone, typhasterol,teasterone, glucoronic acid.Also contain enzyme oxidase and 28-norcastasterone), andmonoglycerides (monopalmitin andmonoolein)16peroxidase. Phenolic glycosides such asrubrofusarin triglucoside, nor-rubrofusaringentiobioside, demethylflavasperonegentiobioside, torachrysone gentiobioside,torachrysone tetraglucoside and torachrysoneapioglucoside were also isolated 17<ref name="chemical composition"/>
