Article Synopsis
- Bintaro, a tropical mangrove plant found in regions like Asia and Australia, is known for its poisonous fruit and is closely related to Cerbera odollam, often called the "Indian suicide tree" due to its association with poisoning incidents.
- The seeds contain a toxic compound called Cerberin that disrupts heart function, making it potentially lethal.
- Despite its toxicity, Bintaro has medicinal properties, including anticancer effects and antioxidant activities, and is also utilized as an insecticide, pesticide, and antifungal agent.
