The medicinal properties incorporated with this plant are anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic, anti-neoplastic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, cognitive, adaptogenic, aphrodisiac, cardioprotective and hepatoprotective effect. Many compounds belonging to different classes such as alkaloids, diterpenoids, phenol, aliphatic compounds and polysaccharides have been isolated from this plant. But it is not well known that which of these compounds are responsible for various activities. Therefore, it needs further exploration of its components, pharmacological action and mechanism of action. This review presents a detail survey of literature on immunomodulatory properties of T.cordifolia . The main aim of the survey is to reinforce scientific reconfirmation of its immunological activities and human studies.

Potential immunomodulatory effects of plant lectins in Schistosoma mansoni infection.

Lectins are sugar-binding glycoproteins that can stimulate, in a non-antigen-specific fashion, lymphocytes, leading to proliferation and cytokine production. Some lectins are utilized as in vitro mitogenic lymphocyte stimulators and their use as immunomodulators against infectious diseases has been evaluated experimentally. In the experimental murine model, the immune response to schistosomiasi...
