Seeds are used in dysuria, polyuria, urolithiasis, also in epilepsy. The seeds, leaves and trunk bark gave diabolin (major alkaloid) and acetyldiabolin. Seeds alsogavebrucine, strychnine, novacine, icajine, oleanolic acid and its glycoside. Leaves and bark gave isomotiol, stigmasterol, campesterol and sitosterol. Diabolin exhibits hypotensive activity. A decoction of seeds is given to treat stammering. The seeds resemble those of Nuxvomica but are non-poisonous. The ripe seeds are used for clearing muddy water.
Siddha uses: Mantam, Paci, Pun, Vellai, Veppu
