Thevetia peruviana toxicity test revealed its safety (LD50 = 3.083 g/kg). In vivo genotoxicity tests measuring chromosomal aberrations were done to prove non-mutagenicity of the plant for both somatic and germ cells. The plant showed antioxidant activity with 121.215, 128.925, and 120.098 mg/g extract, calculated as Trolox equivalent (TE/g) for Thevetia peruviana is a poisonous plant but also has potential as a medicine. This study aims to explain the botany, toxicity and bioactivity of T. peruviana. The research method is through a literature study on articles, books published online, especially on Google Scholar, using the keywords T. peruviana, T. peruviana toxicity and T. peruviana bioactivity. Thevetia peruviana is a tree or shrub growing to about 10-15 feet (Figure 1A). The roots and bark have numerous lenticels, scales, cracks and fissures on the outer surface; rough lines and wrinkles and inner surface tissue and granular fractures (Datta and Datta 1977). The stems are green and turn silver/grey with age. Background. Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) K. Schum or Cascabela peruviana (L.)
