The antiviral activity of Prostratin (CAS NO.60857-08-1) was discovered during research on the traditional knowledge of Samoan healers by ethnobotanist Paul Alan Cox and a team at the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Samoan healers use the mamala tree to treat hepatitis. Research indicated that prostratin has potential to be useful in the treatment of HIV as it could flush viral reservoirs in latently infected CD4+ T-cells.

 Prostratin (CAS NO.60857-08-1) is a protein kinase C activator found in the bark of the mamala tree of Samoa, Homalanthus nutans (Euphorbiaceae). Research indicated that prostratin has potential to be useful in the treatment of HIV as it flushes viral reservoirs in latently.
