Abstract

Aerides multiflora Roxb. belonging to the family Orchidaceae is known for its multi-utility. It is being used in the preparation and for cuts and wounds traditionally and traded for its fragrance and as a cut flower. Among the isolates studied, emerged as the most potent inhibitor, suggesting that it be a candidate structure for inhibitor drug development in the management of type 2 DM. As a result, an attempt has been undertaken to analyze the species therapeutic potential in both traditional and modern medicine systems. The high demand, this species has attracted a lot of attention for conservation and domestication. It is subjected to indiscriminate and unsustainable harvesting, habitat degradation, road construction, and other anthropogenic activity in the wild, resulting in decreased natural populations. This review throws light on the relevant information about the properties of the high-value medicinal orchid and immediate corrective efforts required for the conservation of this medicinal orchid in its natural habitat and promotion of cultivation and GACP to assure a long-term mode of utilization.
