Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Sassy Bark) — “Highly toxic; in humans
leading to a primary slowing of the heart followed by acceleration, dyspnea with labored
respiration, and death due to respiratory arrest. Workers may develop a dermatosis from handling
the wood, tall, fair men being more susceptible than short, dark ones. The erythrophleum alkaloids
are said to be powerfully analgesic to the mucosa and generally more potent than cocaine. With
a marked stimulant effect on isolated rabbit uterus, erythrophleine has been suggested as a
devitalizing agent in dentistry. Cassaidine has convulsant activity. Erythrophleine and
homophleine have some degree of hemolytic activity. All the alkaloids are said to be strongly
antiseptic, especially cassaidine” (CRC).SAUSAGE TREE (Kigelia africana (Lam.) Benth.) +Synonyms: Crescentia pinnata Jacq., Kigelia pinnata (Jacq.) DC.
