Traditional system of medicines such as Ayurveda, Unani, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) describes varieties of evidences for the vast pharmacological activity. Some of the major plant-derived compounds potentially explored as immunomodulators i.e. curcumin, resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, andrographolide, genistein etc. Present review will provide an overview on plant-derived immunomodulator metabolites and their effects on immune system.
