Several of these compounds have been shown to be exceptional therapeutic agents for cancer chemotherapy, however further research is needed to develop medicines.<ref name=":1" />


==Uses==
Those species that yield timber, namely ''A. cucullata'', ''A. argentea'', ''A. spectabilis'', and ''A. silvestris'', are used in general construction, boat building, furniture, internal and external joinery, panelling, rifle butts, axe handles, canoe planking and paddles, and veneer. International exports occur mainly from Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.

Other species grow only to be small trees or shrubs which may bear edible fruit, or yield oils for medicines and pharmaceuticals.<ref>'What is Mahogany? Part 2 GASKELL GUITARS URL: https://www.gaskellguitars.com.au/what-is-mahogany-part2</ref>⏎
