The Constituents of Tinospora Dentata Diels

From the tuberous root of Tinospora dentata Diels, a diterpenoid, columbin and two alkaloids, palmatine and jatrorrhizine, were isolated.     

Cordifolide A, a sulfur-containing clerodane diterpene glycoside from Tinospora cordifolia

Cordifolide A (1), a novel unprecedented sulfur-containing clerodane diterpene glycoside, together with other two new diterpene glycosides, cordifolides B (2) and C (3), and four known analogues, was isolated from a methanol-soluble extract of the stems of Tinospora cordifolia. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation, with that of cordifolide A (1) confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. All isolates were evaluated for their in vitro immunomodulatory activity using mouse bone marrow-derived dentritic cells (BMDCs).     

Simultaneous Determination of Ten Sugars in Tinospora cordifolia by Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction and LC-ELSD

Sugars present in medicinal plants are known for protecting and stimulating the immune system against various biological disorders. Tinospora cordifolia is a reputed Indian herb used for immunity enhancing which is mainly attributed to saccharides. In the present study, a simple, sensitive, and reliable liquid chromatography method based on ultrasonic assisted extraction and evaporative light scattering detection was developed for simultaneous determination of ten sugars comprising of monosaccharides (l-(+)-rhamnose, d-(+)-xylose, d-(?)-arabinose, β-d-(+)-glucose), disaccharides (sucrose, d-(+)-cellobiose, α-lactose), alditols (xylitol, d-(+)-mannitol) and a polyalcohol (myo-inositol) in T. cordifolia. The separation was achieved on Zorbax-NH₂ column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) in gradient elution of acetonitrile: water as mobile phase with flow rate of 0.5 mL min^?1. The drift tube temperature and nitrogen flow-rate were optimized at 70 °C and 2.0 standard litres per minute, respectively. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, limits of detection and quantification. The calibration equation revealed a good linear relationship (r ²  = 0.959–0.999). The sufficient recovery was observed in the range of 94.1–99.9%. The method showed good reproducibility with intra- and inter-day precision of <0.99 and 0.97% (RSD), respectively. The detection and quantification limits for the compounds were in the range of 8.32–44.29 and 25.23–134.20 μg mL^?1, respectively.
