==Chemical Composition==
The root bark and heartwood contain xanthones. The xanthones exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in rats
against carrageenan-induce oedema; also CNS depressant activity. Jacareubin and 6-deoxy derivatives exhibited antiulcer activity in rats. Calophyllolide, a complex 5-Phcoumarin isolated from nuts, showed antiarrhythmic (as effective as quinidine), bradycardiac coronary dilator, and anticoagulant, also anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic activity. <ref name="Chemical composition"/>
