Medicinal
editTraditional
editIn Bangladesh, a bark decoction is used for hemorrhage, diarrhea, poisoning and eye diseases. Flowers are used in biliousness.[citation needed]
Chemical composition
editPlant: Bufotenin and 5-MeO-DMT, DMT and its oxides, gramine, 15 indole-3-alkylamines, tryptophan bases, β-carbolines [2]
Seeds: Galactomannan, L-glucosyl rhamnoside of physcion.
Roots: Betulin, α-amyrin, β-sitosterol.[citation needed]
The alkaloids are mainly of three broad structural types, i.e. indole-3-alkylamine, beta-carbolines, and tetrahydro-β-carboline.[citation needed]
