==Chemical Composition==
Seed contains anthraquinonesLeaves are rich in protein,namely; (aurantioiron, ad antioxidant components such as ascorbic acid, a-obtusintocopherol, chrysoß-obtusincarotene, terpenoids, steroids, and flavonoids. Ethanol extract of leaves yielded tannins,obtusinphlobatannins, chrysoobtusin-2-O-beta-glucosidesaponin, flavonoids, terpenoids, and cardiac glycosides. Study for essential oil yielded the following major constituents in %: (Stem) hexadecanoic acid,physcionoctadecadienoic acid,emodindodecanoic acid,chrysophanollinalyl propanoate,obtusifolintetradecanoic acid,obtusifolin-2-O-betaA-D-glucosideeudesmol, alaternin 2y-Oeudesmost 4-β-Dglucopyranosideethoxy phenol; (Leaf)15hexadecanoic acid, brassinosteroids(brassinolide2.pentanol, castasteronedodecanoic acid, typhasterolß-ionone,teasteronefarnesyl acetone, and 28a-norcastasteroneionone (Rhizome)hexadecanoic acid, andmonoglycerides (monopalmitin andmonoolein)16.
