Several studies have been carried out on the stembark, bark, leaves, seeds and leaves in the last fifty five years, and about 291 metabolites have been isolated from the sesquiterpenoid, diterpenoid, triterpenoid, limonoid, steroid, lignan, and alkaloid groups, as well as flavagline, which known to be the largest. However, preliminary chemical researches commenced in 1965, where dammarane-type triterpenoids, aglaiol was isolated, and the structure was determined by chemical reaction and spectroscopic methods. These species spread through the tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia as well as the Nothern part of Australia, and have been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases. Aglaia is the largest genus in the Meliaceae family (also known as Mahagoni in Indonesia), consisting of over 150 species, of which 65 are indigenous to Indonesia.
