Tinospora cordifolia, commonly called as “Giloy” in Hindibelongs to the family Menispermaceae. It is known as Amrita in Ayurveda due to its immense medicinal value and is used to cure a number of diseases and disorders. It is a deciduous woody climber and almost all parts of this medicinal herb constitute pharmacological properties. It is widely used in India and its neighboring countries as a medicinal plant since decades due to the presence of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, lactones, polysaccharides, flavonoids etc. Some of medicinally important compounds commonly found in this plant are Columbin, Beta sitosterol, Palmatine, Tinosporin, Berberine, Hexadecanoic acid, Alpha tocopherol, Magnoflorine and Phytol (Gautam et al,2020). Further studies on pharmacological importance of this plant and detailed analysis of its phytochemicals would be helpful in the drug discovery process.
