<title><b>GC-MS Analysis and Antimicrobial Activities of Alkaloid Extracts of Tinospora Cordifolia</b></title>
<abstract>The goal of this study is to provide current information on the various secondary metabolite classes as well as experimental evidence of antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogens.  lessThan i greaterThan Tinospora cordifolia lessThan /i greaterThan  leaves belong to the family Menispermaceae and identified as heart leaves Moonseed.  lessThan i greaterThan Invitro lessThan /i greaterThan  antimicrobial activity against  lessThan i greaterThan Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans  lessThan /i greaterThan and  lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus niger  lessThan /i greaterThan was studied by Agar well diffusion method with various concentrations. GC- MS analysis was performed to identify major bioactive compounds present in the extracts. The GC – MS analyses revealed the presence of 25 compounds in the ethanol extract and 25 compounds in the leaf extract composition. The antimicrobial analysis revealed that the extract had a strong inhibitory activity against  lessThan i greaterThan C.albicans lessThan /i greaterThan  among the pathogens tested, with the highest zone of inhibition being 30 mm at a concentration of 100 mg/ml. Our findings indicate that  lessThan i greaterThan Tinospora cordifolia  lessThan /i greaterThan leaf extract can be used in traditional medicines to treat a variety of diseases</abstract>
