Numerous phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, and steroids are present mainly in leaves.

In the future, a well-developed formulation based on topical preparation and in-vivo investigations will be required, coupled with bioassay-guided studies to extract and identify the active ingredients, to demonstrate the formulation with good pharmacological activity of C. hirsutus plants.
