used for the treatment of consumptive cough, kidney asthenia, asthma, jaundice, diarrhea, treat urinary tract infection and hypertension.

the fruit alters taste like the miracle berry fruits! makes everything sweeter, thanks to the presence of two special proteins called neoculin and curculin, but the fruits themselves taste sour.

the fruits grow close to the ground, resembling little dragon fruits.

known for its anti-aging properties, with its roots containing phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants. Extracts are used for inhibiting enzymes related to collagen degradation, making them suitable for treating skin issues such as melasma, freckles, and black spots.

anti-elastase (elastase degrades elastin in your skin) testing found that stem and root ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts gave powerful inhibition of elastase activity in the ranges of 16.89 to 27.91 µg/mL.
in-silico molecular docking study demonstrated potential of identified metabolites to bind to target protein 1B0F involved in remodeling the skin aging process. research concludes that extracts from C. latifolia have potential to serve as an active antiaging source.

The rhizomes are used to treat fevers and infections, as well as to improve metabolism.

nutrigenomic properties found in fruit and root sections that regulate responsible genes in glucose metabolism have been determined, demonstrating high potential use in diabetic therapy.

smilaxin has demonstrated immunostimulatory, antiproliferative, and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity.
aviprin exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, and phytotoxic activities.
ubiquinone plays a key role in cellular metabolism and protection against lipid peroxidation.

root extract contains phenolic compounds including monobenzone (permanent skin whitening, helpful for full vitiligo), phloridzin, mundulone, scandenin, pomiferin, dimethyl caffeic acid, hordatine A, ubiquinone, hydroquinone, frangulin B, rubratoxin B, and emmotin A. LC-ESI-MS identified methyl-3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate, sugiol (diterpene), stigmastan-3,6-dione (steroid), aviprin (flavonoid), lucialdehyde B (sesquiterpene), guaiacol (phenol), and smilaxin (saponin).

additional compounds: curculigoside (phenolic glycoside), orchioside derivatives, cycloartane triterpenes (curculigosaponins), isorhamnetin, apigenin, hesperetin, quercetin, and the bioactive proteins curculin and neoculin.

Although the fruits look similar, it's not the same as Brazilian milk fruit.
