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.[citation needed]

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.[3]
