ECOLOGICAL RANGE
Aleurites moluccana has large geographical distribution and can grow up to 1200 m in most
tropical regions above sea level with at least 700 mm rainfall and the areas with mean annual
rainfall from range 640-4290 mm. it grows in climate with bimodal, summer, winter and
uniform rainfall pattern. It is also well known for its ability to grow on slopes. The main
annual temperature for growing the plant is 19-27°C. The maximum annual temperature for
growth of plant is 26-30°C, mean minimum temperature is 8-13°C and minimum temperature
tolerated is 8°C approximately.[20, 21]
Aleurites moluccana grows in various types of soil including limestone, sand, red loams and
stony clay ground that should be well drained with pH 5-8. But it does not seem to prefer
alkaline soils.[4]
It requires soil free drainage and grows in lightly acidic to alkaline soils and
even tolerates infertile soils. It tolerates quite drought, strong winds, some salt spray, shades
up to 25%, full sun light but intolerant to frost, fire and waterlogging.[19, 9]
MORPHOLOGY
Aleurites moluccana is medium to large sized ever green tree. It can grow up to 20 m in
height and 0.9 m in trunk diameter along with diameter at breast height of 90 cm. In open
areas height increases 10-15 m while in narrow valleys grows as branchless trunk and reaches
maximum height.[23]
The bark (Figure 2) is grey-brown in colour, and fairly smooth with fine vertical lines. The
bark exudes a clear watery sap after applying a cut. The leaves (Figure 3) are distinctive,
simple and alternate with entire & wavy margins. The seeds (Figure 4) are about 2.5–3.5 cm
long and contained within a hard, black, rough shell elliptical in shape. The shells are similar
in shape and texture to walnuts, although smaller and thicker. Aleurites moluccana have
monoecious flowers (Figure 5). The male flowers surround the female flowers. The pistillate
flowers are 13 mm long with 5 white-creamy petals while staminate are longer and thinner.

The leaf blades are 10-20 cm long and have two glands at the junction of leaf base and
peptide which produce a sweet secretion. The Younger leaves are deltoid and simple in
shape.[4]

TRADITIONAL USES
Aerial parts of Aleurites moluccana tree (Figure 1) have been used in traditional medicine.
The tree acquires ornamental shape at an early age.[23]
Bark Decoction of the bark (Figure 2) has been used to treat infertility and secondary
amenorrhoea, hypocholesterolemia, tumors, diarrhoea, fever and the grated bark is used to
make a mouth wash to treat neuralgia and dysentry. In Fiji, the bark and green fruits are used
for asthma, wheezing and cough.[4,24,25]
Bark is also used to treat food poisoning, constipation
and wound healing.[26]
Leaves Decoction of the leaves (Figure 3) have been used in the treatment of
hypocholesterolemia, fever, tumor, diarrhoea, headache, hernia, pain in chest and cough
while the boiled leaves are used in the treatment of gonorrhea, swollen joints, ulcers and
fever. Leaves are also used in poultices for deep contusions, bruises, broken bones,
constipation and food poisoning.[3,24,25,26]

Seeds The seeds (Figure 4) of the plant are used externally to the male genitals as
contraceptive. The pulped kernel is used as poultice in the treatment of headache, fever,
ulcers, swollen joints and constipation.[27]
The seeds are toxic and having strong purgative
effect but cooked seeds are eaten as condiment.[28]
Flowers & Sap The flowers (Figure 5) of the plant have been used to treat candidiasis in
children. They are also used in maintaining dental hygiene4. The sap is used to treat skin
fungus and conjunctivitis. The juice of the fruit is squeezed into the mouth of new born
babies to make them vomit and to clear their throat. The fresh sap is used in maintaining
dental hygiene, to treat thrush and candidiasis.[3,29]
By itself the gum is chewed for its
aphrodisiac properties.[30]
Oil The oil extracted from seeds has been used as a strong irritant and laxative similar to
castor oil. The oil is also used topically to stimulate hair growth in Fiji and to prevent stretch
marks on a pregnant woman‟s belly.[31,32]
The oil can be made into soap. Even today, nut oil
is used as skin moisturizer and as protectant. It serves as external lubricant for masseurs.[33]
The oil is also used as an emollient in skin care products.[34]
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES
There are many reported activities regarding the Aleurites moluccana tree. Although the
whole plant has medicinal importance yet leaves are used extensively for pharmacological
activities. Figure 6 gives a review about reported pharmacological activities of Aleurites
moluccana till now.
Antipyretic activity The antipyretic activity was studied against Brewer‟s-induced pyrexia.
After 12 hrs of s.c injection the rectal temperature of each rat was measured. This study
revealed that the methanolic extract of leaves of Aleurites moluccana at dose 300 mg/kg p.o.
lower the rectal temperature due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in hypothalamus due
to presence of alkaloids, flavanoids and sterols.[1]
Anti-inflammatory activity The anti-inflammatory activity of Aleurites Moluccana was
determined using carageenan induced rat paw oedema assay and methanolic extract
decreased the paw oedema at a dose of 300 mg/kg. The anti-inflammatory activity is a
biphasic in which the first phase is due to release of histamine and serotonin and in the
second phase there is release of prostaglandin which leads to oedema formation and this
effect of Aleurites moluccana is due to presence of alkaloids, sterols and flavonoids.[1]
Hypolipidaemic activity The lipid lowering activity of methanolic extract of leaves of
Aleurites moluccana was studied on high-fat-diet induced hyperlipidemia and triton induced
hypercholestrolaemia. The serum lipids (Triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol &
total cholesterol) and the body weight were found to be lowered at dose 300 mg/kg10
.
Antibacterial activity The study revealed that different extracts of the plant parts showed
activity against Staphylococcus pyrogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas

Kaur et al. World Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
aeruginosa. For antibacterial assay, Minimum inhibiting concentration (MIC) was
determined.[11]
Antiviral activity The antiviral activity was determined to a lesser extent by C.P.Locher. In
1995, the study revealed that aqueous extract of husk Showed the antiviral activity against
Herpes Simolex-I virus that significantly exceeded their minimal cellular toxic
concentrations.[11]
Antinociceptive activity Using complete Freund‟s adjuvant (CFA)-induced mechanical
hypernociception, mechanical hypernociception induced by PGE2 and carageenan-induced
mechanical hypernociception, methanolic extract of leaves demonstrated that i.d. injection of
carageenan (300µg/paw) significantly reduced the mechanical sensitivity threshold (p<0.05)
in comparison to control group. Oral treatment of Aleurites moluccana (500mg/kg) reduced
the mechanical hypernociception.[7]
Wound healing activity The treatment of excision and incision wound model with alcoholic
extract of bark of Aleurites moluccana had accelerated the wound healing process in rats. The
extract on the rat dermal wound healing, increasing the tensile strength and enhancing the
wound healing process. The wound healing potential of the plant extract may probably be as
a result of the presence of a mixture of phytoconstituents including flavanoids and tannins.
Ointment from the bark of Aleurites moluccana exhibited significant prohealing activity
when topically applied on rats by 4% w/w and reduction in period of epithelization was also
observed in AEAM.[43]

CONCLUSION
Natural products and herbal medicines are in focus these days for various medical conditions
due to easy treatment of diseases hence Aleurites moluccana has been found useful in the
treatment of various ailmernts like ulcers, hypocholesterolemia, fever, tumor, diarrhoea,
headache, hernia, pain in chest due to the presence of various phytoconstituents like
flavanoids, coumarins, triterpenoids, steroids, flavanoid glycosides etc. Despite various
claims of medicinal uses on Aleurites moluccana, there is need of some attempts to
scientifically confirm it‟s more potential in the healing of other diseases.
