Abstract

According to Ayurveda, the leaves, roots, and stem of Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) contain anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, which are beneficial for treating fever, jaundice, and arthritis diabetes, constipation, acidity, etc. It is easily found in India. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) is used in India for so many years ago because of its Ayurveda properties. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) was examined for its phytochemical and antibacterial properties. The extracts of Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) were prepared using ethanol 99.9 % solvents. The phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity test of extracts were performed. The presence of Choline, Tinosporin, Isocolumbin, Palmatine, Tetrahydropalmatine, Magnoflurinee, 18-norclerodane glucoside, Furanoid diterpene glucoside, Tinocordiside, Cordioside, Cordifolioside A, Cordifolioside, Tinocordifolioside, alkaloids glycosides, carbohydrates, steroids, polyphenol, saponins, and terpenoids were indicated by testing. The antimicrobial activity shown in samples is performed in the zone of the inhibition Test method. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) was active against Gram-negative bacteria i.e. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC No.9027 and Grampositive Bacteria i.e. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC No 6538. This study suggests that the antimicrobial properties of Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) may be due to the presence of chemical compounds.
