Physiology Various alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, steroids, glycosides, quinines, coumarins, proteins, and resins have been isolated from Cleisomeria lanatum. The isolated compounds have been shown to exhibit some potential as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and thrombolytic agents.Rahman, M., Surag, A. T., Begum, R., Hossain Tusher, M., & Huda, M. K.
