Male Enhancement<\/em><\/p> Eurycoma Longifolia is famously renowned for its aphrodisiac effect, which is due to its ability to stimulate the production or action of androgen hormones, especially testosterone from its major compound Eurycomanone. The root which is the most valuable component, is reported to possesses wide range of phytochemicals including quassinoids (eurycomanone), canthine-6-one alkaloids, squalene derivatives and by-phenylneolignans which are the reasons behind its testosterone increasing effect. Hence, it can be used as an alternative for testosterone replacement therapy in the treatment of androgen deficiency, one of the major factors of sexual dysfunction, associating with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and reduced libido.

With its testosterone enhancing e\ufb00ects, the plant is also suggested as a complementary medicine for androgen-deficient osteoporosis. As androgen playing an important role in regulating bone health, low testosterone level can bring about bone loss and osteoporosis. However, with the bioactive complex polypeptides, called eurypeptides and its proandrogen properties, it can exert and enhance e\ufb00ects on the biosynthesis of various androgens by stimulating osteoblast pro-liferation and di\ufb00erentiation, resulting in increased bone formation rate. Other than its proandrogenic properties, Eurycoma Longifolia also contains high level of nitric oxide (NO) and antioxidant activity from alkaloids and triterpenes that have e\ufb00ects on bone by acting as a mediator to promote bone formation and suppress bone resorption. Eurycoma Longifolia is therefore, suggested to be potential as testosterone replacement for androgen deficient osteoporosis.<\/p> \u00a0<\/em><\/p> Antimalarial<\/em><\/p> Quassinoids along with canthine alkaloids isolated from roots of E. longifolia are known to possess potent antimalarial activity against various strains of Plasmodium falciparum parasites.
