Description
Andrographolide is a bicyclic diterpenoid lactone displaying antiviral, antiinflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antihyperglycemic properties. This chemical is an irreversible antagonist of NF-κB and prevents in vitro T cell activation. Andrographolide displays no effect on IκBa degradation but downregulates iNOS and Mac-1 expressions and ROS production. It has been shown to prevent endotoxin shock in mouse models and is reported to activate PI 3K/Akt pathways. Andrographolide is also an inhibitor of ERK.
