Phyllodium pulchellum is an Asian plant in the family Fabaceae.
Distribution and habitat
Phyllodium pulchellum is widely distributed in tropical Asia and also in the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and Australia's Northern Territory.[1]
Medicinal
Traditional
In Bangladesh, a bark decoction is used for hemorrhage, diarrhea, poisoning and eye diseases. Flowers are used in biliousness.[citation needed]
Chemical composition
Plant: 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]
