The methanol leaf extracts of Acacia nilotica, Sida cordifolia, Tinospora cordifolia, Withania somnifer and Ziziphus mauritiana are ethnomedicinally important showed significant antibacterial and activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum and antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Dresc...

The importance of Tinospora cordifolia stem extract was investigated for its possible curative effect in male wistar rats against the cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity. Oral administration of plant extract cured the cisplatin induced kidney damage. There was an increase in serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and alkaline phosphatase in rats treated with Cisplatin (5mg/kg body weight, i.p). Adm...

The purpose of present study was to evaluate the testes and epididymides mediated reversible contraceptive efficacy of ethanol extract of Tinospora cordifolia stem at the dose level of 400mg/kg. b.wt./rat/day. Oral treatment of 60 days caused significant reduction in number of spermatozoa in cauda epididymides as well as in testis with a decreased in the motility of sperm collected from cauda e...

Background. Tinospora cordifolia, an Indian medicinal plant, has been reported to have beneficial effects on disorders like peptic ulcer, hepatobiliary disorders, rheumatism, infectious diseases etc. It enhances cognition in normal rats and successfully overcomes cyclosporine induced memory deficit. Methods. Thirty healthy volunteers of age 18-30 years received Tinospora cordifolia (500 mg of p...

The antibacterial activity of the aqueous, ethanol and chloroform extracts from the stems of Tinospora cordifolia  was studied using disc diffusion method against Escherichia coil, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter faecalis, Salmonella typhi (Gram-negative), Staphylococcus aureus and Serratia marcesenses (Gram-positive). Results suggest that the ethanolic extract has significant antibacterial acti...

The Effect of tincture of Tinospora cordifolia was evaluated using onion root tip mitosis as the test system. The aqueous extract stimulated the mitotic activity significatory.
