Artocarpus lacucha, also known as monkey jack
The stilbenoid oxyresveratrol can be isolated from the heartwood of Artocarpus lacucha[5] as well as in Puag Haad, the light brown powder obtained from the aqueous extract of the wood chips of A. lakoocha by boiling, then slow evaporation, followed by cooling. This traditional drug is effective against the intestinal fluke Haplorchis taichui[6] or against taeniasis.[7]
This tree is mentioned in the Arthashastra.[8]

Experiments have shown that the heme-peroxidase enzyme from the medicinal plant Artocarpus lakoocha has the ability to protect against oxidative damage in vitro and possesses wound healing properties. This stable enzyme also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potential candidate for use in biotechnological and industrial applications. [1]
