Abstract:

β-d-Salicin 1 (Mahdi et al. [8]) is an interesting medicinal phytochemical that exhibits cross functions in plants and humans immunologically. This molecule 1 (Mahdi et al. [8]) has attracted the attention of scientists in various interdisciplinary fields, including chemistry, pharmacology and medicine. The biological cross functions of β-d-salicin 1 (Mahdi et al. [8]) serve in plant survival and healing processes via salicylic acid 2 (Pierpont [23]). Thus, this raise a question whether plant biosynthesis and human metabolism crosstalk to induce therapy via molecular recognition. If so, biotechnology and bioinformatics are significant techniques for new strategies in drug development. Thus, understanding the biosynthesis, metabolism and the cross-molecular setting of recognition may encourage further discussion and research on its medicinal and biological activity virtues.
