An arrow poison has been made from the fruit peel and the bark of the tree. Both possess a toxic property, lansium acid, which, on injection, arrests heartbeat in frogs. The peel is reportedly high in tannin. The seed contains a minute amount of an unnamed alkaloid, 1% of an alcohol-soluble resin, and 2 bitter, toxic principles.

Five tetranortriterpenoids, domesticulide A-E (1-5), were isolated from seeds of

Lansium domesticum Corr. together with 11 known triterpenoids (6-16). Their

structures were elucidated by analysis of their spectroscopic data. Compounds 2,

3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 15 showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium

falciparum with IC(50)'s of 2.4-9.7 microg/ml.
