Abstract

Abstract: Salicin is a glycoside that can be found in several Salix and Populus species. Salicin is also connected to the glycoside populin, commonly known as benzoyl Salicin, in the Salicaceae tree barks. D-glucose is a component of the alcoholic glycoside Salicin (C13H18O7). The willow tree, as well as other trees like poplar and aspen, contains the natural chemical Salicin, which is a member of the salicylate family. Salicin is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic used in conventional medicine, and it served as the inspiration for the creation of aspirin. This molecule may have important human pharmacological actions that need to be considered in determining the efficacy and safety of willow herbal medicines. The extracts obtained from the bark of the tree, belonging to the Saliceae family in different solvents have been known for possessing many important medicinal values by potent pharmacological actions. The current effort deals with exquisite detailed aspects and concerns related to Salicin, which will be fruitful for the futuristic approaches to Salicin.
