“…The therapeutic potential of C. umbellata is due to its wide array of phytochemical production including arbutin, sitosterol, ursolic acid, glycoside, hydroquinone, and essential oil (Plants for a future 2022 ). Recent studies have focused on this potential and have examined boils of C. umbellata against tuberculosis (Pathak et al 2021 ), the plant’s antiproliferative effect against MCF-7 cancer cells (Das et al 2022 ), and its activity against cardiovascular diseases.…”

Chimaphila umbellata has been studied for almost two centuries now, with the first paper exploring the phytochemistry of the plant published in 1860. Almost all contemporary studies focus on the biotechnological advances of C. umbellata including its utilization as a natural alternative in the cosmetic, food, biofuel, and healthcare industry, with a special focus on its therapeutic uses. This literature review critically investigates the significance and applications of secondary metabolites extracted from the plant and presses on the biotechnological approaches to improve its utilization. C. umbellata is home to many industrially and medicinally important phytochemicals, the majority of which belong to phenolics, sterols, and triterpenoids. Other important compounds include 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, isohomoarbutin, and methyl salicylate (the only essential oil of the plant). Chimaphilin is the characteristic phytochemical of the plant. This review focuses on the phytochemistry of C. umbellata and digs into their chemical structures and attributes. It further discusses the challenges of working with C. umbellata including its alarming conservation status, problems with in-vitro cultivation, and research and development issues. This review concludes with recommendations based on biotechnology, bioinformatics, and their crucial interface.
