The shrub contains antioxidants, such as catechin and epicatechin, but also alkaloids, such as hirsuteine, hirsutine, rhynchophylline, and isorhynchophylline. Rhynchophyllines are NMDA antagonists so they are commonly used as anesthetics for humans and animals. The alkaloid is a drug candidate in pharmaceutical research for cardiovascular and central nervous system disease.
