Abstract
The current study aimed to perform phytochemical analysis of primary
and secondary metabolites in stem extract of Tinospora cordifolia using
three different solvents-water, methanol and petroleum extract. This was
followed by evaluation of the antibacterial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic
activities of the plant’s extracts. The study showed presence of proteins,
tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, phytosterols, saponins and terpenoids in
different plant extracts in variable amount. The findings of the study also
showed potent antioxidant activity of all the tested plant extracts. Also, the
extracts demonstrated potent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S.
aureus along with potent antifungal efficacy against A. niger and Penicillium
chrysogenum. The findings of the
current research will provide a solid foundation for advanced phytochemical,
pharmacological, molecular, and clinical studies by integrating the traditional
knowledge with modern science that could lead to innovative medications,
standardized herbal products, and environmentally friendly medicinal plant use.
