ABSTRACT
The change in the immune response known as immunomodulation can either make the
immune system more or less responsive. Almost all societies have employed medicinal
plants as a source of medication for modifying immune systems from the dawn of humanity.
Numerous medicinal plants have been studied for their capacity to modulate immunity, and
it has been shown that they do so in animals through a variety of ways. Various natural plants
were investigated for their phytochemistry, pharmacology, therapeutic applications, and
related factors, including Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum, Andrographis paniculata,
Aloe vera, Boswellia serrata, Boerhaavia diffusa, Centella asiatica, Curcuma longa, Carica
papaya, Datura quercifolia, Emblica officinalis, and Hydrastis canadensis. As a result, a
method for integrating the information that is currently known about various species of
medicinal plants that are utilized as immunomodulators as well as the metabolites that are
responsible for the same has been developed.
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Immunomodulation is the word used to describe the altering of immune response, which
may result in an increase or decrease in immunological reactivity. Immunostimulation is a
method of enhancing immunological responsiveness, while immunosuppression decreases
the immune response. A biological or synthetic agent that has the ability to activate, inhibit,

86
or regulate any immune system component, including the innate and adaptive immune
systems, is referred to as an immunomodulator. The fundamental characteristic of immunomodulation is the manifestation of an immunomodulating action by a pharmacological
substance working at variable doses and timings (Sell et al., 2001; Mukherjee et al.,
2010). Figure 5.1 summarizes the process of immunomodulation. Immunosuppression and
immunostimulation are the most extreme examples of physiologically active chemicals’
immunomodulating effects, therefore both immunosuppressive and immunostimulating
drugs retain individual standing, thus exploration for more effective mediators to exert
such effects is increasingly attracting attention globally (Patwardhan et al., 1990). Immunosuppressive and immunostimulative agents include synthetic and natural adjuvants as
well as antibody reagents. However, there are significant drawbacks to use these drugs
widely, including an enhanced infection risk and a widespread impact on the immune
system (Mukherjee and W ahile, 2006). In order to solve these issues numerous medications
derived from natural sources, such as minerals or herbs, have been utilized to modify the
human immune system (Mukherjee et al., 2010). In numerous medical systems across the
world, a variety of therapeutic plants are employed to treat immunological diseases.

In India, utilization of plants as medicine came into knowledge in 6000 BC. Ayurveda,
a prehistoric discipline of life science, is thought to have existed for at least 5000 years
(Mukherjee et al., 2012; Mukherjee and Houghton, 2009). Recently, the concept of
modulating immune response to treat various diseases has been highly intriguing, and
rasayana in Ayurveda deals with the same thing. This notion of rasayana, which is based on
plants with renewing properties and emphasizes the promotion of health by bolstering host
defenses against various ailments, is explained by the A yurvedic system of medicine. Natural
products have a variety of biological actions and are a distinctive source for new medication
discovery. Over the past few decades, interest in natural compounds’ immunomodulatory
characteristics has grown signicantly. Due to their excellent efcacy and safety proles,
natural immunomodulators can help manage a variety of illnesses, including cancer . These
therapeutic plants were discovered to contribute to the improvement of human wellbeing by promoting the natural defenses of hosts to various illnesses. Additionally, these
rasayana plants have the ability to prevent the development of senescence with enhanced
mental abilities by improving psychoneuroimmunology (Mukherjee, 2002). Moreover,
biologically active substances derived through natural resources have been an area of
interest for those researchers working on either some infectious diseases or enhancing the
immune response of the body (Mukherjee, 2003).
5.2 NATURAL PLANTS: THEIR COMPONENTS AND IMMUNOMODULATORY
PROPERTIES
5.2.1 ALOE VERA (L.) BURM.F. (FAMILY: ASPHODELACEAE)
Aloe vera is a distinguished therapeutic plant that thrives in dry environments often found
in some arid regions and Africa. It has been reported to exhibit potential immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory capabilities along with wound and burn healing abilities.
Its impact on microcirculation and in levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis
factor-alpha (TNF-α) were examined in rats after being exposed to burns. It was observed
that rats with burn wounds treated with A. vera had much lower levels of leukocyte adhe-
sion than rats in the control group. TNF-α and IL-6 levels were also seen to dramatically
decline (Duansak et al., 2003). The derivatives of dihydrocoumarin were found to have
immunomodulatory effects on rat peritoneal macrophages by enhancing their phagocytic
action by promoting the superoxide anions formation during oxygen respiratory burst
(Zhang et al., 2006).
5.2.2 ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA (BURM. F.) WALL.EX.NEES. (FAMILY: ACANTHACEAE)
Andrographis paniculate herb is reported to be beneficial in the treatment of colds,
diarrhea, inflammation, fever, and so on (Maiti et al., 2010). The methanolic extract of
A. paniculata may have anticancer and immunomodulatory effects on human immune

88
and cancer cells. The extract dramatically reduced the growth of colon cancer cells
(HT-29) with increased growth of peripheral blood lymphocytes in humans when present
in small doses (Mukherjee et al., 2014)]. The three diterpene 14-deoxyandrographolide,
andrographolide, and 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide were isolated from
this plant. In human peripheral blood cells, these compounds resulted in increased
proliferation and IL-2 induction (Chang et al., 2007). Additionally, it was discovered that
andrographolide inhibits nitric oxide (NO) production in endotoxin-activated macrophages
(Chiou et al., 2000).
5.2.3 ACORUS CALAMUS L. (FAMILY: ARACEAE)
Acorus calamus, also recognized as “Bach,” “Vach,” or “Sweet Flag,” is the semiaquatic
herb that grows along marshes, riverbanks, and lakes all over the country. It has creeping
rhizomes and long, sword-shaped leaves. The plant has shown a variety of pharmaceutical
properties, including antibacterial, spasmolytic, hypocholesterolemic, sedative, insecticide,
and antiulcer, and so on (Pandit et al., 201 1). It was observed that the ethanolic extract of its
rhizomes had anticellular and immunomodulatory activities. Additionally, it has also been
reported for reducing the proliferating antigen and mitogen-activated human peripheral
blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Additionally, rhizome extract reduced the generation
of NO, IL-2, and TNF-α as well as the proliferation of various cell lines with mouse and
human origins.
5.2.4 ALLIUM SATIVUM L. (FAMILY: ALLIACEAE)
Allium sativum, also known as garlic, is a staple ingredient grown all over India and is
well-known worldwide. There is some evidence that garlic or certain garlic compounds
have immunomodulatory effects. These effects include modulating cytokine production
both in vitro and in vivo as well as increasing T-lymphocyte blastogenesis and phago-
cytosis. According to Kyo et al. (2001), the extract of aged garlic exhibits a range of
antitumor and antiallergic properties with chemopreventive action and inhibiting tumor
cell development (Muruganadan et al., 2000). They proved that the mouse TNP-bovine
serum albumin hapten carrier complex and antitrinitrophenyl (TNP) monoclonal antibody
were responsible for inducing the release of histamine in the basophil cell line RBL-2H3
of rat. The release of antigen-specific histamine was dramatically decreased by 50, 80, and
90% at dosages 1.25, 2.5, and 5.0 g/100 g of extract, respectively. In the psychological
stress model, extract dramatically reversed the loss of antisheep red blood cells (SRBC)
hemolytic plaque-forming cells and decreased spleen weight brought on by electrical stress
(Hodge et al., 2002). Additionally, it has been found that garlic extract greatly enhanced
IL-10 production while decreasing IL-12 production at low concentrations, whereas the
TNF-α, IL-8, IL-6, IL-1, IL-2, and Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) greatly decreased with the
extract (Upadhyay et al., 1992).

89
5.2.5 AZADIRACHTA INDICA A. JUSS. (FAMILY: MELIACEAE)
Azadirachta indica is the prime adaptable medicinal plant with a range of biological
activities, including antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and
immunostimulatory properties, known from the past 2000 years. It has been demonstrated
that aqueous stem bark extract improves the in-vivo immunomodulatory response of Balb/C
mice to the red blood cells of sheep. The aqueous extract of A. indica demonstrated potent
anticomplementary properties that were dose and time-dependent and most prominent in
an assay for the classical complement pathway. Additionally, a variation in the dosage
led to a decrease in the chemiluminescence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, while an
increase was observed in the synthesis of the migration inhibitory aspect in lymphocytes.
The oil from neem has been demonstrated to have immunostimulant action via specific
engagement of cell-intervened immune systems to produce improved response toward
future antigenic or mitogenic challenges along with immunomodulatory effects on mice.
After three days of therapy, mice receiving injections of neem oil that is, intraperitoneal
displayed increased leukocytic cells. Additionally, peritoneal macrophages of the mice
showed increased phagocytic activity and MHC class-II antigen expression. The main active
ingredient in the seed oil of A. indica, that is, nimbidin, is a mixture of tetranortriterpenes
that has potent anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic properties. It does this by inhibiting
some of the neutrophil and macrophage functions related to inflammatory response after
exposure both in vitro and in vivo. Further investigation revealed that nimbidin also reduced
neutrophil degranulation as measured by the release of lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, and
glucuronidase (Kaur et al., 2004; Mehrotra et al., 2002).
5.2.6 ARGYREIA SPECIOSA (L.F.) SWEET (FAMILY: CONVOLVULACEAE)
Specific Argyreia speciosa Sweet, a woody climber that may be found all over India and
belongs to the Convolvulaceae family, is more generally referred to as Vryddhadaru in
Sanskrit employed as “rasayana” drug in conventional Ayurvedic medical system. The roots
of this plant have traditionally been used as a tonic and alternative remedy for rheumatism
and other nervous system disorders. The ethanolic extract of A. speciosa roots demonstrated immunomodulatory potential through the reaction of delayed-type hypersensitivity
(DTH), impact on the humoral response, and cell phagocytic activity . The extract increased
the DTH which markedly increased the amount of antibody titer produced. Thus, the study
shows that T and B cells and macrophages involved in the production of antibodies are
more sensitive (Pandey et al., 2005).
5.2.7 BIDENS PILOSA L. (FAMILY: ASTERACEAE)
The largest blooming family of plants on earth, Bidens pilosa, is utilized in Asia, America,
and Africa as a traditional treatment for bacterial illness or immunological regulation.

90
The aqueous infusion of B. pilosa boosts the synthesis of cytokines and the number of
white blood cells, which has an immunomodulatory effect. IFN-promoter activity was
boosted by 2- to 6-fold by hot water extracts and butanol fraction of B. pilosa. The relevant
compounds, centaurein (EC50 = 75 g/ml) and centaureidin were recovered from the
butanol fraction and demonstrated enhanced IFN-γ promoter activity. Calcium/Nuclear
factor of activated T cells and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) enhancers, were activated
by centaurein.
5.2.8 BALIOSPERMUM MONTANUM (WILLD.) MÜLL.ARG. (FAMILY: EUPHORBIACEAE)
The Euphorbiaceae family’s Baliospermum montanum is a robust understory shrub growing
via roots. This plant can be observed in the subtropical and tropical regions of Himalayas
ranging from Arunachal Pradesh to Kashmir. At different concentrations (25, 50, and 100
µg/ml) of the aqueous extract from B. montanum roots, an immunomodulatory impact
was observed. This was evident through enhanced phagocytic activity in neutrophils,
improvements in chemotaxis and locomotion, increased immune-stimulating effects
against killed Candida albicans, as well as heightened nitroblue tetrazolium test (NBT)
responses conducted using human neutrophils (Mukherjee et al., 2014).
5.2.9 BOERHAAVIA DIFFUSA L. (FAMILY: NYCTAGINACEAE)
It is a widespread tropical plant that thrives in both dry and wet seasons in India, Nigeria,
and many other nations. The in-vitro cytotoxicity of human NK cells, production of
TNF-α and IL-2 in PBMCs of humans, cellular proliferation, and NO production in
mice macrophage were all considerably reduced by the ethanol extract of Boerhaavia
diffusa roots. It is also noted that treatment with B. diffusa extract had no effect on IFN-γ
(intracytoplasmic) and markers of cell surface like human leukocyte antigen–DR isotype,
CD16, and CD25 (Sharma et al., 1996). Mice’s cellular and humoral functions were
examined in relation to the solvent fraction of B. diffusa root extract. When given orally,
the fraction (25–100 mg/kg) greatly reduced the delayed hypersensitivity reactions of
the sheep red blood cell-induced in mice. Pre- and post-immunization therapy revealed a
significant dose-related rise in antibody titer. The ethanolic extract of B. diffusa included
eupalitin-3-O-d-galactopyranoside, which blocked phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced
PBMC proliferation, two-way NK cell cytotoxicity and mixed lymphocyte reaction, and
lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-enhanced NO generation via RAW 264.7. It also prevented
LPS-stimulated TNF-production and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) production (PHA-activated) at
both mRNA transcript and protein levels in human PBMCs; additionally, it prevented
nuclear factor-ĸB and activator protein 1 from activating DNA binding, two key transcription factors crucial for the production of IL-2R and IL-2 genes, required for activation and
proliferation of T cell (Etkova et al., 2001).

91
5.2.10 BOSWELLIA SERRATA ROXB. EXCOLEBR. (FAMILY: BURSERACEAE)
One of the strongest anti-inflammatory herbs used in Ayurveda is Boswellia serrata, often
known as salai. It is used topically and internally for treating osteoarthritis, fibrositis,
rheumatoid arthritis, and pain in the back on its own or in conjunction with other herbs.
Anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of B. serrata have been verified in clinical
trials and animal experiments. The extract of B. serrata gum resin contains boswellic acid,
a pentacyclic triterpene acid. The impact of boswellic acid on humoral and cell-mediated
immunity has been documented. Boswellic acid produced a nearly identical, dosedependent reduction of the proliferative responsiveness of splenocytes to mitogens and
alloantigen at doses more than 3.9 µg/ml. The phagocytic activity of adherent macrophages
was improved by preincubating macrophages with various doses of boswellic acid. There
was a substantial suppression of compound 48/80-induced (compound known to be a
potent inducer of degranulation, responsible for the release of histamine and other chemical
mediators associated with anaphylactic symptoms, and the activation of mast cells) mast
cell degranulation at doses (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, p.o.) (Ghule et al., 2006).
5.2.11 CAMELLIA SINENSIS (L.) KUNTZE (FAMILY: THEAACEAE)
Camellia sinensis (green tea) has been utilized as the traditional medication in Vietnam
and China, due to its anticancer, antiviral, and immunostimulant effects. The C. sinensis
extract increased the neopterin production in peripheral mononuclear cells that were not
stimulated, but it significantly decreased the formation of neopterin among cells that
were stimulated using interferon-γ concanavalin A or PHA. Additionally, the extract of
C. sinensis dramatically increased the production of the immunosuppressive cytokine
IL-10 and prolonged graft survival when combined with modest doses of cyclosporine
A. Additionally, the extract lowers the excessive transforming growth factor production
caused by cyclosporine A, which is linked to the drug’ s nephrotoxicity. Additionally, it was
discovered that the extract reduced T cell proliferation in vitro, both in a nonspecific and
antigen-specific manner (Kim et al., 2002).
5.2.12 CAPPARIS ZEYLANICA L. (FAMILY: CAPPARIDACEAE)
Capparis zeylanica, commonly known as Indian caper, is a climbing shrub that may be
found all across India and used as a rasayan medication in the conventional Ayurvedic
medical system. Moreover, the leaves of this plant are widely used as a febrifuge, antiirritant, and in piles treatment, and so on. By using several immunological parameters,
such as the humoral response to SRBC, neutrophil adhesion test, DTH reaction, cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced myelosuppression, and phagocytic activity have been reported.
Ghule et al. (2006) reported the immunomodulatory activity of both aqueous and ethanolic
extracts of C. zeylanica leaves. At a concentration of 300 mg/kg orally, the aqueous extract

92
of C. zeylanica leaves significantly increased neutrophil adherence to the nylon fiber. The
ethanolic extract demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in antibody titers within mice,
along with an augmentation in the hypersensitivity reaction (delayed-type) induced by
using SRBC. Furthermore, the animals treated with the ethanolic extract were protected
against myelosuppression induced by CP medication (Kaul et al., 2003).
5.2.13 CALENDULA OFFICINALIS L. (FAMILY: ASTERACEAE)
Calendula officinalis plays a significant role in Indian medical systems as it has antiviral,
antigenotoxic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. This plant has a variety of immunomodulatory effects as well. Human peripheral blood cells and thymocytes demonstrated
mitogenic activity when exposed to a 70% ethanolic extract of C. officinalis (Mukherjee
et al., 2014). Moreover, the extract exhibits a combination of lymphocyte reactivity and
stimulates proliferation in human lymphocytes. On the widespread array of mouse and
human tumor cell lines, the laser-activated extract of C. officinalis demonstrated strong
in-vitro reduction (70–100%) of tumor cell proliferation. The mechanisms of inhibi-
tion involved the arrest of the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis induced by
Caspase-3 (Mukherjee et al., 2014).
5.2.14 CHELIDONIUM MAJUS L. (FAMILY: PAPAVERACEAE)
Chelidonium majus exhibits numerous applications in Korean traditional medicine
because of its antitumor, anti-inflammatory antimicrobial, and anticytotoxic properties
as well as its long-standing reputation for having anti-inflammatory effects. Investigations on the immunomodulatory potential of C. majus revealed that the plant’s methanolic
extract had strong immunomodulatory effects. The collagen-induced arthritis was greatly
slowed down by the methanolic extract, which also prevented the lymph node and spleen
from producing IFN-γ, IL-6, TNF-α, T cells, and B cells (Mukherjee et al., 2014). The
extract therapy significantly reduced cartilage degradation in mice knees. The same
extract boosted the fraction of T-regulatory cells CD25+ and CD4+ in vivo. The extract
also reduced the levels of IgG and IgM rheumatoid arthritis factor.
5.2.15 CARICA PAPAYA L. (FAMILY: CARICACEAE)
For a variety of illnesses, including cancer, Carica papaya has long been utilized as an
ethnomedicine. There are numerous parts of plants that are employed in the treatment of
diseases, including leaves, fruit, seeds, and so on. Recently, C. papaya seed extract has
been promoted as a nutritional supplement with the potential to improve energy levels and
regenerate physical health by enhancing both physical function and immunity to common
infections. The crude seed extract and two additional bioactive fractions dramatically
improved lymphocyte reactivity to PHA and significantly reduced the traditional complement-mediated hemolytic pathway. The aqueous extract of C. papaya leaves exhibited
