Abstract

As the majority of pharmaceutical businesses rely on medical plants for the synthesis of pharmaceutical chemicals, medicinal plants are of significant interest to researchers in the field of biotechnology. The majority of herbal remedies and the products that are derived from them are frequently made from unrefined plant extracts, which include a complex mixture of various phytochemical components (plant secondary metabolites). The chemical characteristics of these components vary greatly between species. An intriguing device for determining the concentration of various active constituents in plants utilised in the cosmetic, medicine, the agriculture or medical sectors is the GC-MS method employed for the assessment of the extracted samples. The entire plant methanol extract of Tinospora was used in this work to identify bioactive elements employing gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The GC-MS results suggest several different chemicals, including (9E,11E)-Octadecadienoic acid , 9-Octadecenoic acid, (E)-, 9-Octadecenoic acid, Octadecanoic acid, .gamma.-Sitosterol, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, Methyl cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoate and 2-Hydrazino-2-imidazoline in the Tinospora methanolic extract. As a result, the bioactive compounds in the methanol extracts of this herb may have chemopreventive, antitumor, anti-microbial, antioxidants, and hypoglycaemic potential. This study's findings suggest that the existence of these phytochemicals as well as bioactive substances in Tinospora cordifolia makes it a potential new reservoir of medications.
