Abstract
Vanillin is a naturally occurring compound found in numerous plant species and is commonly utilized in food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is the main ingredient in vanilla pods, and numerous studies have indicated that it has a variety of pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Vanillin is extensively utilized in modern drug research for the treatment of many diseases, including cancer, due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Besides its application in food and flavoring, vanillin acts as a precursor in the production of other valuable petroleum-derived chemicals. This review provides a thorough explanation of the impact of this phytochemical on many signalling pathways, which are interconnected with the root cause of disease. This review also discusses its pharmacokinetic characteristics and clinical trial studies.
