General description

Andrographolide, a bioactive diterpene lactone, is the main constituent of Andrographis paniculata, a plant used in traditional medicines. It is known to have different biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, anti-cancer and hepatoprotective activity. It also shows potent anti-viral effect against dengue virus.

Application


  • Andrographolide-based drug candidate against Keap1-Nrf2 pathway through rigorous cheminformatics screening.: This study identifies potential andrographolide derivatives as innovative drug candidates that target the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, crucial for antioxidant defense mechanisms. This approach highlights the compound′s versatility in developing treatments that could mitigate oxidative stress-related diseases, making it a significant area of interest for chemists and material scientists in both academia and biotech sectors (Jain and Sudandira Doss, 2023).

  • TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the targets of andrographolide on LPS-induced liver injury.: This investigation into the proteomic changes induced by andrographolide in liver injury models offers insights into its therapeutic mechanisms, highlighting its potential as a treatment for inflammation and liver diseases, relevant for research and development in pharmaceutical and biochemical fields (Ge et al., 2023).

  • Investigation of targets and anticancer mechanisms of covalently acting natural products by functional proteomics.: This study evaluates andrographolide′s roles within the context of its anticancer properties, providing a detailed analysis of its interactions at the molecular level, essential for material scientists and chemists working on novel cancer therapies (Zhao et al., 2023).

Biochem/physiol Actions
