The main active group of chemicals in simarouba are called quassinoids. The antiprotozoal and antimalarial properties of these chemicals have been documented for many years.
Several of the quassinoids found in simarouba, such as ailanthinone, glaucarubinone, and holacanthone, are considered the plant’s main therapeutic constituents and are the ones documented to be antiprotozal, anti-amebic, antimalarial, and even toxic to cancer and leukemia cells.
Raintree’s simarouba extract uses proprietary extractions methods which provide the equivalent of 500 mg simarouba bark per milliliter of extract. To learn more about this wonderful rainforest plant, go to the Tropical Plant Database file on Simarouba.
