ABSTRACT The last decade has seen a global upsurge in the use of traditional medicine (TM) and complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) in both developed and developing countries. Various forms of traditional, complementary and alternative medicines are playing a progressively more important role in health care globally and therefore their safety, efficacy, and quality control are important concerns today. Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers. (Amruthavalli or Guduci), is one of the most versatile rejuvinative herbs widely used as a traditional medicine. It is mentioned in various classical texts of Indian Medicinal Systems and is cultivated throughout the Indian subcontinent and China. The therapeutic efficacy makes for its extensive usage in various systems of medicine. Pre clinical and clinical pharmacological studies affirm the importance of this herb. The notable medicinal properties are anti-diabetic, anti-periodic, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-oxidant, anti-allergic, anti- stress, anti-leprotic, anti-malarial, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory and anti-neoplastic activities. The principle constituents present in the plant are alkaloids, diterpenoid lactones, glycosides, steroids, sesquiterpenoid, phenolics, aliphatic compounds and polysaccharides. The present paper reviews the pharmacological and phytochemical aspects of the herb and its usage in different medicinal systems. However, the molecular mechanism of these activities of Tinospora cordifolia for its medicinal properties is to be elucidated. Keywords: Tinospora cordifolia, Diterpenoid, Glycosides, Alkaloids.

    International Journal of Pharmaceutical Biological and Chemical Sciences eview rticle R A INDIAN TINOSPORA SPECIES: NATURAL IMMUNOMODULATORS AND THERAPEUTIC AGENTS Patel Nidhi, Patel Swati and Krishnamurthy R* C G Bhakta Institute of Biotechnology, Maliba campus, Uka Tarsadia University, Bardoli- 394 350 Dist. Surat, Gujarat, India. *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: The substance which stimulates or suppresses the components of immune system is known as immunomodulator. Antibiotics have limited effective life span and its prolonged use is harmful. So, scientists are more relying on medicinal plants, which are natural immunomodlators and therapeutic agents. This review paper presents plant description, chemical properties, immunomodulatory and therapeutic properties of Indian Tinospora species. Indian Tinospora species are belonging from menispermaceae family. Tinospora species plants are climbing shrubs. They are mostly found in tropical and subtropical area of India. There are mainly three species: Tinospora cordifolia, Tinospora malabarica and Tinospora crispa.These three species are closely related with their morphology & chemical properties of stem, bark, leaves, flowers,etc. Tinospora cordifolia mainly found at tropical region of India. It is widely used as a medicine in folk and ayurvedic systems.It possesses general adaptogenic, rejuvenating and immunomodulatory activity so it is widely used in Ayurveda. Tinospora malabarica is giantdeciduous climber mainly found at Konkan, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Bengal, and Orissa. It is mixed as adulterant or substitute with T. cordifolia. It is also an immunomodulator. Tinopora crispa is small herb which widely grows in temperate and tropical parts of India.It isvaluable in general debility, in chronic rheumatism, in malarial fevers and in diabetes therapy.

Abstract: Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers belonging to the family Menispermaceae is a large, tropical climbing shrub commonly found throughout India. In Menispermaceae, secondary growth is achieved by formation of multiple cambia or a single cambium. In fully grown plants the stem becomes thick, moderately woody, and parenchymatous with very large and wide rays. In Tinospora secondary growth is achieved by single cambium with formation of xylem in plates. Tinospora is commonly known for its atypical wood anatomical structure i.e. lignified xylem plates embedded in parenchymatous ray cells. This type of cambial variant is the result of the normal activity of cambium which produces xylem towards the center and phloem towards periphery but is an abnormality in conformation. Unequal activity of the cambium at certain segments results in macro-morphological abnormalities in the stem structure. The conformational changes lead to the development of xylem in plates which were separated by wide rays. Secondary xylem showed vessel dimorphism in both large and narrow vessels, and distinctly wide rays. Formation of ray cambia and its re- differentiation into vessel elements was observed in Tinospora which were not reported earlier in this genus.
