1. Anxiety, nervousness : Plant part used: Heart of Wood. Documented pharmacological profile: Diazépam-like.
2. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: Heart of Wood. Documented pharmacological profile: Chloramphénicol-like.
   Selon Da Costa Pires L (2021) : In vitro antimicrobial activity was tested against Aeromonas strains at concentrations of 6400 to 3.125 μg/mL. Since plant antibacterial activity is highly associated with phenolic compound concentration, we aim to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of different extracts against fish pathogenic bacteria. Selon Souza CE (2015) : Aeromonas hydrophila are Gram-negative bacteria linked to fish infection & under debilitating conditions, can infect humans (NEMEC, A.
3. Oxidative stress : Plant part used: Fruit. Documented pharmacological profile: Acide ascorbique-like, Epicatechine-like, Quercétine-like.
   Selon Cioffi G (2003) : The results showed that compound 3 was the most active in both antioxidant assays. The antioxidant activity of all the isolated compounds was determined by measuring free-radical-scavenging effects using two different assays, namely, the Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) assay & the coupled oxidation of beta-carotene & linoleic acid (autoxidation assay). Selon Lamounier KC (2012) : The antioxidant activity of wood extracts (IC50 = 18.7 μg/mL) was more effective than bark extracts (IC50 = 20.9 μg/mL).

Further indications (including other extraction modes where applicable), dosages, precautions for use and full scientific references are available in the complete monograph.
