Abstract: The aim of the study was to carried out for identification of bioactive compounds from the whole plant
methanol extract of Tinospora cordifolia by GCMS analysed by IIFPT (Iso/IEC 17025:2005). Referred standard
protocol using NIST Library. The GCMS analysis revealed the presence of various compounds used for various
disease.
Key words: GC-MS, Tinopora cordifollia, Phytocomponents,
I. INTRODUCTION
The Tinospora cordifolia has been subjected to chemical
investigation extensively and number of chemical
constituents belonging to the different groups viz terpenoid,
alkaloids, lignans, steroids have been analysed. Herbal plants
produce and contain a variety of chemical substances with
varied physiological effects. They are huge reservoir of
various chemical substances with potential therapeutic
properties [1]. Herbal plants are being increasingly utilized to
treat a wide variety of clinical diseases [2]. Herbs have been
used by all cultures throughout history and thus, herbal
medicine is the oldest form of health care known to mankind.
It was an integral part of the development of modern
civilization. Many drugs commonly used today are of herbal
origin. Higher plants as source of medicinal compound
continue to play a dominant role in maintenance of human
health since antiquities [3].
The primary benefit of using plant derived-medicine is that
they are relatively safer than synthetic alternatives, offering
profound therapeutic benefits and affordable treatment [4].
However, it must be noted that not all medicinal plants are
safe for consumption in the crude form.
Herbalism is a traditional medicinal or folk medicinal
practice based on the use of plants and plant extracts. Herbal
medicines are popular remedies for diseases used by a vast
majority of the world‘s population,This study mainly focused
on the bioactive compound ethonal extract Argemone
mexicane plant seeds[4]. It is known as ‘Mexican prickly
poppy’ and ‘Satyanashi’ is a common name. It is an erect,
prickly annual herb, up to 1.2 meter in height, naturalized
throughout India up to an altitude of 1,500 meter.
Martials and method
Extracted plant material powder by maceration method
One liter of double distilled water was mixed with 100g of
powdered Tinospora cordifolia stem, filtered twice with
Whatman no.1 and then with nitrocellulose membrane. The
extracted liquid was subjected to water bath vaporization to
remove the water. For water bath evaporation, liquid extract
material was be placed into a beaker and subjected to water
bath evaporation at 60ºC temperature for 7-10 h daily for 2-3
days until a semisolid state of extracted liquid is obtained.
The semisolid extract produced was kept in the deep freezer
at-20ºC overnight and then subjected to freeze drying. Extract
obtained by this method was then weighted and stored at 22ºC
in desiccators until further use. The rat were fed with
powdered plant material extract with sterile tap water.
Phytochemical screening of the extract of Tinospora
cordifolia was also carried out.
The root of Tinospora cordifolia were first washed well and
dust was removed from the plants. Plant was washed several
times with distilled water to remove the traces of impurities
from the root. The dried plant at room temperature and
coarsely powdered. The powder was extracted with 70%
ethanol for 48 hours. A semisolid extract was obtained after
complete elimination of alcohol under reduced pressure. The
extract was stored in refrigenerator used. The different
concentrations (20mg/ml, 40mg/ml, 60 mg/ml and 80 mg/ml)
respectively of plant extract used in this study. The stem,
leaves and roots of Tinospora cordifolia were isolated,
chopped into small pieces and dried roots were powered and
this powder was used for the preparation of extract by heat
distillation process as detailed by Agarwal et al.The extract
was assigned a code name TCrE.
II. ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES
The given sample was extracted with methanol and analyzed
through Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry/ Mass
Spectrometry for identification of different compounds
