is widely used in Ethiopia for treating various human ailments, yet its pharmacological properties and chemical composition remain largely unexplored. The chromatographic separation of roots extract afforded five compounds, namely tremulacin (), cochinchiside A (), 5-methoxydurmillone (), catechin-7--α-L-rhamnopyranoside (), and stigmasterol (), confirmed via IR, NMR, and MS spectral data. This is the first report of these compounds from this plant, except for compounds and .

A study of diterpenoids as active ingredients against cancer from the active roots extract of Mast. (IC = 1.57 μg mL) led to the isolation of six new clerodane diterpenoids, named as barterins A-F (1-6) alongside seven known compounds, caseamembrin A, caseamembrin E, casearlucin A, graveospene G, -feruloyltyramine, -feruloytyramine and sitosterol-3--β--(6--palmitoyl)-glucopyranoside.

The genus of the family contains some of the most virulent vertebrate viruses known. Lagoviruses infect leporids, such as rabbits, hares and cottontails. Highly pathogenic viruses such as (RHDV1) cause a fulminant hepatitis that typically leads to disseminated intravascular coagulation within 24-72 h of infection, killing over 95 % of susceptible animals.
