Temporal diversity of phytochemicals in Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy), in accordance with seasonal variations: comparative analysis using UHPLC-PDA and HPTLC.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Seasonal variation influences the biosynthesis and accumulation of phytochemical compounds in plants, thereby affecting the qualitative and quantitative composition of phytochemicals. Investigation of these trends is crucial for ensuring the optimal collection time and consistency of metabolites. Although time specific collections of plant materials have been well-defined in classical Indian ancient literatures, however robust scientific validation has been rather limited.

Methods

Tinospora cordifolia stems were collected over a period of 24 months (Year 2022 to 2024) for phytochemical investigation. Bioactive constituents were extracted using hydro-methanol as the solvent and characterized by UHPLC-PDA analysis. Quantitative analytical method was validated in acc
