It has also been found helpful in anaemia, albuminuria, ketonuria, retinitis and other complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Oral administration of amellin relieves symptoms of glycosuria, reduces hyperglycaemia and increases RBC count. The fresh stems and leaves contain a compound called amellin, thought by some to have an important therapeutic action in diabetes however, others doubt this. Scopadulcic acid B has been shown to have a tumour-inhibiting action and has also been shown to inhibit replication of herpes simplex virus type 1. The antiviral activity of scopadulciol, a tetracyclic diterpenoid, was found to inhibit the virus replication, as shown by reduction of virus production. Scopadulin, a diterpene from the aerial parts, has shown mild antiviral activity. The aerial parts also yield nitrogen-containing components and flavonoids. Research has shown that the plant contains a number of medically active compounds - the aerial parts contain about 4% of a viscous oil which, besides fatty acids like stearic, myristic and linolenic acid, also contains a series of diterpenes. ![]() The roots, leaves and tops are traditionally used in India, Indo-China and South-East Asia as an analgesic, diuretic and antipyretic, to treat gastric disorders such as diarrhoea and dysentery, and also for cough, bronchitis, hypertension, haemorrhoids and insect bites.
