Several recent reports have documented the occurrence of clinically apparent liver injury with its long term use.</p></div><div id="Tinospora.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Tinospora cordifolia is a climbing herbaceous vine found in the subtropical rainforests of India, South Asia, and Africa. Extracts of its bark, roots, and leaves have been used in traditional Indian (Ayurveda) medicine for centuries to treat a variety of conditions including diabetes, rheumatism, jaundice, malaria, asthma, depression, pain, and urinary tract infections. Known as Giloy in Hindi and Guduchi in Sanskrit, Tinospora cordifolia has been found to have possibly beneficial biologic activities in cell culture and in animal models including hypoglycemic, diuretic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antimalarial, antiviral, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, and antineoplastic activities. Chemical analyses have demonstrated more than 60 compounds in Tinospora species including lactones, steroids, flavonoids, lignans, alkaloids, and most characteristically di- and mono-terpenes including the characteristic clerodane-type furanoditerpenoids. Recently, its purported immune boosting effects led to the proposal that it might be helpful in preventing severe COVID-19 infection. However, none of the claimed biologic or clinical activities of Tinospora that were demonstrated in animal studies have been shown in studies in humans. Nevertheless, it is widely available and is purported to activate immune function and restore immune health. Tinospora is available over-the-counter in various forms including solutions, powders, capsules, and tablets as well as raw, dried bark. Tinospora is present in several Ayurvedic combination products. The typical dose is 400 to 1000 mg daily. Side effects are uncommon but may include headache, dizziness, nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and rash.</p></div><div id="Tinospora.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In small rather short term clinical studies of different preparations and concentrations of Tinospora cordifolia, adverse side effects were usually described as uncommon and minimal with no mention of hepatotoxicity. Indeed, Tinospora cordifolia was purported to prevent hepatic injury and, unlike a similar genus, Tinospora crispa, to be without intrinsic hepatotoxicity. Despite these findings, descriptions of liver injury from T. cordifolia similar to those from T. crispa appeared which were initially dismissed as being due to incorrect identification of T. crispa as T. cordifolia. However, reports of more than 50 cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury have appeared since 2017 and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic probably fueled by the suggestion that Tinospora cordifolia was an immune booster and might ameliorate or prevent clinically apparent COVID-19 infection. The cases were reported mostly from India and Thailand, but single cases were reported from Germany, Belgium, France and the United States. In addition to publications of more than 50 cases of T. cordifolia induced liver injury, there are at least 7 published cases attributed to T. crispa. The injury from both species was typically hepatocellular with <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.alanine-aminotransferase-alt-/">ALT</a> and <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.aspartate-aminotransferase-ast-/">AST</a> values of 10 to 50 times the upper limit of normal (500 to 3000 U/L), minimal alkaline phosphatase and <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase-ggt-/">GGT</a> elevations, and variable degrees of hyperbilirubinemia. The latency to onset ranged from a few weeks to 6 months. Immune allergic symptoms (fever and rash) occurred but were not common, while autoantibodies were frequent and sometimes accompanied by hyperglobulinemia and autoimmune features on liver biopsy. Several fatal cases with submassive hepatic necrosis have been described, most often in patients with preexisting liver disease.</p><p><a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.likelihood-score/">Likelihood score</a>: A (well established cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Tinospora.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Tinospora cordifolia has multiple constituents and the chemical compound responsible for liver injury is not known, although thought to be a diterpenoid. The clinical features of Tinospora liver injury suggest that it is immunologically mediated. Cases appear to be more frequent and more severe in patients with preexisting liver disease and its immune boosting activities may be responsible for some of its toxicity.</p></div><div id="Tinospora.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Cases of liver injury from Tinospora cordifolia have ranged in severity from minimally symptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels to cases of mild hepatitis resolving rapidly upon stopping to severe hepatitis including acute liver failure leading to fatalities. Liver injury from Tinospora is typically self-limited in course and chronic injury has not been clearly described. However, many cases arise in patients with preexisting liver disease and present as acute-on-chronic liver injury, which can result in worsening of the underlying liver disease and evidence of chronic injury.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/HerbalDietarySuppl/">Herbal and Dietary Supplements</a></p><p>Other names: Giloy, Guduchi, Heart-leaved Moonseed</p></div></div><div id="Tinospora.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Tinospora_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Tinospora.Case_1_Acute_hepatitis_with_ja"><h3>Case 1. Acute hepatitis with jaundice attributed to a multiingredient product containing Tinospora cordifolia, Butterbur, and Spirulina.(<a class="bk_pop" href="#Tinospora.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 59 year old Japanese woman with recurrent sinusitis developed fatigue and poor appetite followed by dark urine and jaundice approximately six weeks after starting a commercial multiingredient herbal product called Hilma Indoor-Outdoor Sinus Support. She had no previous history of liver disease or risk factors for viral hepatitis and did not drink alcohol. She had many drug allergies, including responses to sulfa antibiotics, penicillin, tetracycline, and montelukast. Her other medical conditions (and medications) included hypertension (amlodipine, losartan), asthma (fluticasone), sinusitis (cetirizine), hyperlipidemia (atorvastatin), constipation (macrogol), obesity, and diabetes. She had taken her other medications chronically for many years. After 2 weeks of symptoms, she sought medical care and was found to be jaundiced. She was admitted for evaluation and the herbal product was stopped. Her laboratory tests showed a total serum bilirubin of 19.6 mg/dL, <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.alanine-aminotransferase-alt-/">ALT</a> 755 U/L, <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.aspartate-aminotransferase-ast-/">AST</a> 696 U/L, alkaline phosphatase 173 U/L (<i>R</i>=7.1: hepatocellular). The INR was 1.4 and serum albumin 3.9 g/dL. Tests for hepatitis A, B, and C were negative. The ANA (1:40) and SMA (1:160) were positive, but the AMA was negative, and IgG levels were in the high normal range (1631 mg/dL). An abdominal ultrasound was normal without evidence of biliary obstruction or gallstones. The herbal product was stopped. Over the next several days, her bilirubin rose to 33.6 mg/dL and INR to 1.6 (Table). A liver biopsy showed acute hepatitis with bridging necrosis and collapse, but with minimal fibrosis and scant steatosis. There were dense portal lymphocytic infiltrates but few plasma cells. The tentative diagnosis was drug induced liver injury due to the herbal product. HILMA was labeled as having 4 ingredients: Indian Tinospora extract [450 mg], Stinging nettle powder [400 mg], Spirulina powder [30 mg], and petasins from Butterbur Extract [16 mg]. When seen in follow up, she slowly improved, and 6 and 9 months after onset, she was asymptomatic, and all liver tests were normal.</p><div id="Tinospora.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div

The injury was scored as &#x0201c;severe&#x0201d; with bilirubin rising to above 30 mg/dL and INR to above 1.5. The severity may have been due partially to her delay in seeking medical care and continuation of the product for 2 weeks after onset of symptoms. She began to improve spontaneously a week and a half after stopping but remained jaundiced for almost two months. In long term follow up, she had recovered completely. The challenge in the case was to assign causality to a specific component because three of the ingredients have been implicated in causing liver injury, generally with a hepatocellular pattern and sometimes a severe course. Assigning the most likely cause to Tinospora was based on the higher dose and the frequency of reports in the literature. Thus, Tinospora has a LiverTox likelihood score of &#x0201c;A&#x0201d; (&#x0003e;50 reports in the literature), while butterbur has a &#x0201c;C&#x0201d; (4-11 case reports), and Spirulina a &#x0201c;D&#x0201d; (only 1 report).</p></div></div></div><div id="Tinospora.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Tinospora_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
