Tinosporide is a chemical compound classified as a diterpenoid and a furanolactone. It was first isolated from the plant Tinospora cordifolia , from which it derives its name. [1] [2] It has since been found in other plants of the genus Tinospora , such as Tinospora glabra . [3] [4] [5]
Because Tinospora cordifolia has been used in traditional herbal medicine, there has been research directed at exploring the potential pharmacology of tinosporide and related compounds. [6]
Other diterpenoid furanolactones with a similar structure include columbin, palmarin, and chasmanthin.
