  • Abstract:
  • Tinospora cordifolia is a member of the Menispermaceae family and has a number of medicinal applications. Giloy is a highly prized and often used plant in Ayurvedic medicine. The goal of this study was to screen for Tinospora cordifolia stems and investigate the phytochemicals that are present in the plant, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, phenols, tannins, and flavonoids are among the phytochemical components found in methanolic extract of the stem of Tinospora cordifolia. Fresh stems of Tinospora cordifolia were quantitatively determined to contain 2.58 ± 0.08 % w/w of glycoside (%), 8.2501 ± 0.03 % w/w of total tannins, and 1.865 ± 0.017 % w/w of phenolics. As demonstrated by the methanolic extract of Tinospora cordifolia stem, a higher concentration of phenolic and tannin components results in a more potent free radical scavenging activity. According to the DPPH experiment, these powders' antioxidant potential was 61.18 percent.
