Abstract:
Bioactive compounds of diverse types are used to design a variety of pharmacologically important medications. Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy) is a prominent medicinal plant in the Menispermaceae family that serves as a major source of novel pharmaceuticals and health care goods. Giloy's numerous medical characteristics and therapeutic uses, as well as phytochemical research, demonstrate its value as a remarkable medicinal plant. Anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-spasmodic, anti-allergic, anti-HIV and anti-cancer properties have been documented. The primary stem of the plant is bitter, stomachic, diuretic, increases bile secretion, and heals jaundice. The pharmacological potential of T. cordifolia, as well as the phytochemicals responsible for its pharmacological activities, were highlighted in this review paper.
