Decalepis salicifolia (Bedd. ex Hook. f.) Venter is a potential medicinal and highly aromatic plant species confined to the southernmost part of the Western Ghats of India. The plant is well known for its traditional uses among the various tribal communities of south India. The tubers of the plant possess characteristic vanillin-like aroma due to the presence of the compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde. The tubers are used to substitute Hemidesmus indicus in various herbal formulations. The plants in the wild are continuously uprooted for their roots, leading to the irreversible destruction of the whole plant. The resulting tremendous loss of populations in the wild led to the species being declared as critically endangered by IUCN. Our group is working on the various aspects of this species including population status, distribution mapping, prospection, and conservation management. In the present review, we have brought out the available information till date on D. salicifolia, including taxonomy, ethno-medicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, population status, and conservation efforts along with research gap and lacunae to provide direction for further research into this less explored medicinal and aromatic plant. After reading the article, we found that the author used 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 673-22-3Computed Properties of C8H8O3)
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 673-22-3) is employed in the synthesis of Schiff base ligand. It is applied as a reactant in the synthesis of LPA1R antagonists used in the inhibition of LPA-induced proliferation and contraction of normal human lung fibroblasts. Also used in the synthesis of tyrosine kinase 6 proteinase inhibitors.Computed Properties of C8H8O3
