Dipterocarpus intricatus
Dipterocarpus intricatus
Dipterocarpus intricatus is a plant traditionally not used in any known medical practices. Scientific studies have shown that extracts from Dipterocarpus obtusifolius flowers exhibit varying degrees of antioxidant and cytotoxic activities against gastrointestinal cancer cell lines, though the findings are preliminary and require further investigation. Ultrasound-assisted methods using Dipterocarpus intricatus fruit extract for determining iron in vegetable samples demonstrated good precision and low detection limits, while similar methods with Careya arborea leaf extract were effective for detecting nitrate and nitrite in sausages. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
