Combining herbal drugs with chemotherapeutic drugs shows promise in reducing side effects and improving efficacy. One such herbal compound, Andrographolide, has been found to have anti-cancer properties. Researchers have developed a combination nanoformulation with Andrographolide and the chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil to enhance oral absorption and bioavailability. This research highlights the potential for more effective and tolerable cancer treatments.
Researchers investigated the anti-depressive properties of Andrographis paniculata extract and andrographolide in a zebrafish model of chronic unpredictable stress. Both compounds showed a reduction in freezing duration compared to the stressed, untreated group, and andrographolide also decreased cortisol levels and increased activity. The study confirms the potential of zebrafish as a model for researching antidepressant drugs and suggests further investigation of andrographolide's cellular and molecular effects.
Andrographis paniculata is a functional food used in Asia. Andrographolide (Andro), derived from it, has potent anticancer properties. This study shows that Andro induces ferroptosis (iron-dependent cell death) in multiple myeloma cells through the P38/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, suggesting a potential treatment for the disease.
A study on Andrographis paniculata showed that exogenous GABA improved plant growth under low nitrogen conditions. GABA increased N assimilation and protein synthesis in plants, and up-regulated the activities and expression of N metabolic enzymes. GABA also increased the accumulation of α-ketoglutarate and malate for NO assimilation. N isotopic tracing and NRTs transcription showed that GABA up-regulated NRT2.4 and NRT3.2 to increase NO uptake. Primidone, an inhibitor of GABA receptor, impeded the effects of GABA on plant growth and N accumulation. The results suggest that GABA acts as a signal to up-regulate NRTs via its receptor and promote NO assimilation to alleviate N deficiency in A. paniculata.
Dehydroandrographolide (Deh) is a compound found in Andrographis paniculata that has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its potential use in medicine warrants further exploration.
