Formulation and Evaluation of Microspheres of Tinospora cordifolia

With so many medicinal benefits, Tinospora cordifolia is among the most adaptable revitalizing plants. In the present research work, microspheres of Tinospora cordifolia ethanolic extract were formulated by using emulsion solvent diffusion method. Evaluation parameters of the prepared formulation like powder density viz. bulk and tapped density, Hausner’s ratio, percent compressibility and flow properties were checked. Phytochemical evaluation indicated presence of glycosides, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, starch, and sterols in the plant. The purpose of the current investigation was to check the antibacterial efficacy of T.cordifolia microspheres made. The same was achieved by using recommended microbiological strains viz. Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The prepared formulation exhibited potent antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains.
