The leaves are good fodder with much protein content.The plant contains saponin, macrocyclic alkaloids, phenolic glycosides and flavonols.In Ayurvedic medicine, it is considered as an antidote against all type of poisons. Many ayurvedic formulation of shirish like Panch shirish agada, Mahagandhahasti Agad etc. have been indicated in poisoning. However, it has been established that no part of the plant has any antidotal value against either shake or scorpion venoms. In addition, the bark decoction of AL possesses anti-anaphylactic, anti-asthmatic activity and these potentials can be assumed as supportive measures in poisoning treatment. Saponin isolated from AL bark and methanolic pod extract of AL possess antispermatogenic effect. AL also has analgesic, anti-inflammatory anti-diarrheal, anxiolytic and nootropic activity.
