All parts of this tree, including the fruit, contain toxic phorbol esters typical of the Euphorbiaceae. Specifically the tree contains 12-deoxy-5-hydroxyphorbol-6gamma, 7alpha-oxide, hippomanins, mancinellin, sapogenin, and phloracetophenone-2, and 4-dimethylether is present in the leaves, while the fruits possess physostigmine.
