Poison Makeup and Effects
Erythrophleum suaveolens mainly contain erythrophleum alkaloids, with cassaine being the most notable example, and terpenoids. Both of these are derived from cassaine type diterpenoid acid. Erythrophleum alkaloids have similar structures to cardiac glycosides are generally found to have cardiac activity which can lead to bradycardia, vomiting, arrhythmia, and death.

Chemical Makeup
Erythrophleum plant species are mainly composed of erythrophleum alkaloids (69) and terpenoids (44), with a smaller number of triterpenoid glycosides (7), Stilbenoids and megastigmanes (2 each), and Flavonoids (5) and cinnamyl derivatives (4).

Medicinal Properties
Erythrophleum components have long been used natively to treat various diseases/conditions and have been found to have antimicrobial, anti-oxidative activity, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, anti-angiogenesis, and cardiac activity. One of the main chemicals found in erythrophleum being studied for its possible medicinal abilities is Cassaine. Cassaine has been found to have cytotoxic activity.
