Theleaves on steamdistillation yield 0.5% essential oil fromwhich camphor is isolated. The oil contains cineol 66, d-fenchone 10 and citral about 6%. The plant gave a diester of coniferyl alcohol, acetylenic compounds, a thiophene derivative; aerial parts gave campesterol, hentriacontane, hentriacontanol, alpha-amyrin and its acetate, lupeol and its acetate and beta-sitosterol. The alcoholic extract of the plant showed marked anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenin and bradykinininduced inflammation in rats. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]
