Andrographis paniculata extract

Brief Introduction

There are more distinguishing attributes to this plant than its pungent flavor, however. For one thing, it is one of the few species of Andrographis that possess medicinal properties. For another, this plant represents a range of therapeutic applications far broader than most single herbal remedies.

In fact, andrographis paniculata plays a featured role in several traditional systems of healing, including those of India, Thailand, and China. A mere sampling of the plant’s pharmacological properties include analgesic, cardioprotective, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and immunomodulating effects.

Main Functions

The primary active constituent of andrographis paniculata is andrographolide, which is responsible for its bitter taste. Other compounds that have been identified include didehydroandrographolide, andrographosterin, and stigmasterol. Collectively, these chemicals are referred to as diterpene lactones, or simply as andrographolides. For decades, scientists have been intrigued by how these compounds affect cellular signal transduction pathways, the communication system used by the body to deliver chemical messages to receptor sites to trigger a biological activity, like producing insulin. What they have found is that andrographolides thwart attempts made by free radicals or invading viruses to disrupt normal cell cycles, events that might otherwise lead to the development of cancer and other diseases.

In terms of promoting enhanced immune function, andrographis paniculata appears to trigger both antigen-specific and nonspecific immune responses to foreign microbes. Respectively, this means that the body is stimulated to manufacture counteractive antibodies, as well as increase production of macrophages to target and destroy attacking microbes. It also means that this herbal remedy may be effective against a variety of infectious diseases.

The herb also exhibits cytotoxic properties, meaning that it kills cancer cells. In fact, studies have shown that plant extracts effectively inhibit the proliferation of cells in stomach, skin, and breast cancers. There is also sufficient evidence to indicate that andrographis paniculata may have future potential in the fight against human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
