Description
14-deoxy-11,12-didehydro Andrographolide is an analog of the natural diterpenoid andrographolide that can be isolated from
A. paniculata. It retains the anti-inflammatory, antiallergenic, immuno-stimulatory, antiviral, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and cardiovascular activities of andrographolide without producing cytotoxicity in KB cells (ED
50 >20 μg/ml) that can occur with andrographolide 6.5 μg/ml.
Uses
14-Deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide is the derivative of Andrographolide(A637475) is a labdane diterpenoid (2). Andrographolide is the main bioactive component isolated from the medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata (2). Andrographolide showed significant antihepatotoxic action in P. berghei K173-induced hepatic damage in M. natalensis(1). Andrographolide inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced intercellular adhesion mol.-1 (ICAM-1) expression and adhesion of HL-60 cells onto human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), which are associated with inflammatory diseases (2). These findings suggest that Andrographolide may have potential as a cardiovascular-protective agent.
