Tinospora cordifolia
Tinospora cordifolia
Tinospora cordifolia, commonly known as Indian gooseberry or heart-leaved moonseed, is a traditional plant used in Ayurveda and other Indian systems of medicine. It has been traditionally employed for digestive complaints and wound healing. Scientific evidence suggests that compounds from Tinospora cordifolia may potentially inhibit the African swine fever virus B175L protein, though more research is needed to confirm these findings. The plant also showed moderate DNA protective activity in some studies, with one metabolite, cordiside A, demonstrating significant inhibition of nitric oxide production without causing high cytotoxicity. Safety-wise, no major issues have been recorded, and there are currently no known drug interactions associated with Tinospora cordifolia.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a identifié deux diketopiperazines chez Streptomyces triticiradicis TTCF1 qui ont montré une activité antibactérienne puissante et une toxicité sélective contre des lignées de cellules cancéreuses.
- L'étude a montré que Tinospora cordifolia a montré une activité protectrice modérée du DNA parmi les espèces himalayennes testées。
- Le Cordiside A (5) a inhibi de manière significative la production d'oxyde nitrique, d'IL-6 et de TNF-α dans les cellules macrophages avec une faible cytopathicité.
- L'étude suggère que plusieurs composés de Tinospora cordifolia pourraient potentiellement inhiber la protéine du virus de la fièvre porcine africaine B175L.
- Les TCAE, SLAE et SPAE ont induit l'apoptose des cellules THP-1, suggérant des effets thérapeutiques potentiels pour la leucémie, bien que de plus amples études cliniques soient nécessaires.
