Title: Anti-fertility effect of Andrographis paniculata (Nees) in male albino rat
Source: Ind J of Experimental Biology 28(5): 421-426
Notes: Dry leaf powder of Andrographis paniculata, when fed orally to male albino rats, at a dose
level of 20 mg powder per day for 60 days resulted in cessation of spermatogenesis,
degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules, regression of Leydig cells and
regressive and/or degenerative changes in the epididymis, seminal vesicle, ventral
prostate and coagulating gland. There was reduction in the weight and fluid content of the
accessory glands, accumulation of glycogen and cholesterol in the testis and increased
activities of lactate dehydrogenase in the testis and alkaline phosphatase in testis and
ventral prostrate. The results suggest antispermatogenic and/or anti-androgenic effect of
the plant.

Notes: The possible testicular toxicity of Andrographis paniculata, standardised dried extract was
evaluated in male Sprague Dawley rats for 60 days. No testicular toxicity was found with
the treatment of 20, 200 and 1000 mg/kg during 60 days as evaluated by reproductive
organ weight, testicular histology, ultrastructural analsysis of Leydig cells and
testosterone levels after 60 days of treatment. It was concluded that Andrographis
paniculata dried extract did not produce subchronic testicular toxicity effect in male rats.

Title: Comparative efficacy of Liv 52 and Andrographis paniculata Nees in experimental liver
damage in rabbits
Source: Indian Drugs 25: 1-4
Notes: Pre-treatment and/or post-treatment of rats at different time intervals with different doses
of andrographolide in the two experimental models of hepatotoxicity showed that
treatment of rats with 400 mg/kg, ip, 1,4 and 7 h after paracetamol challenge leads to
complete normalization of toxin- induced increase in the levels of all the five biochemical
parameters, and significantly of all the five biochemical parameters and significantly
meliorates toxin- induced histopathological changes in the livers of experimental rats. the
results confirmed the in vivo hepatoprotective effect of andrographolide against
galactosamine or paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Since the protective effect of
andrographolide was observed in two types of intoxication, which are very different in
their primary mechanism of inducing hepatotoxicity, it is suggested that protective
mechanisms of andrographolide which are not specific to galactosamine/paracetamol
toxicity may be responsible for the hepatoprotective activity of the compound.

Notes: A spectrophotometric method of assay of andrographolide in Kalmegh by measuring its

and more accurate than the official method and other methods of assay so far reported.
Samples containing 0.02 mg or less of andrographolide content can be satisfactorily
estimated by this method.

Notes: The acanthaceae include 2200 species distributed among 240 genera with 4 centres of
distribution, namely, Indo-malaya, African, Brazil, and Central America northwars into
Mexico. An attempt is made in the present work to understand the cytotaxonomic
relationship of various species of acanthaceae.

Title: Anti-diarrhoel activity of diterpenes of Andrographis paniculata (Kal-Megh) against
Escheritia coli enterotoxin in in vivo models
Source: Int J of Crude Drug Res 28: 273-283
Notes: The plant Andrographis paniculata Nees (Acanthaceae) is widely used in traditional
remedies and folklore medicines in India for multiple clinical conditions. Recently two
diterpenes (andrographolide and neoandrographolide) isolated from this plant, have
been reported to possess promising immunostimulant activity. Therefore in the present
study we have evaluated the possible antiallergic activity of these diterpenes. they were
tested for anti-PCA (passive cutaneous anaphysixis) and mast cell stabilizing activities in
rats and compared with disodium cromoglycate (DSCG). Significant anti-PCA activity
(48-80%) was observed with andrographolides (25-100 mg/kg, p.o.) which was
comparable to that of DSCG (i.p.). Mast cell stabilizing activity (56-58%) was observed
against compound 48/80 induced degranulation. The results suggests that the
andrographolides possess promising anti-allergic activity with the added advantage of

induced secretion in rabbit and guinea pig ileal loop models
Source: Int J Pharmacognosy 31: 198-204
Notes: Alcohol, hexane, chloroform, butanol and aqueous extracts of different parts of 31
indigenous medicinal plants of India were screened for their,# anti-secretory activity
against E. coli enterotoxin (LT, ST and LT/ST-induced secretory responses in rabbit and
guinea pig ileal loop models). The extracts of five plants- Andrographis paniculata,
Cassia fistula, Colens forskohlii, Tridax procumbens and Papaver somniferum showed
highly significant anti-secretory activity.

Notes: Andrographis paniculata (Kalmegh) a plant used extensively in the Indian traditional
systems of medicine as a hepatoprotective and a hepatostimulative agent, was studied
in a four-day suppressive and against Plasmodium berghei NK65 in Mastomys
natalensis. A crude extract and fractionations reduced the level of parasitaemia in a dose
dependent manner; four diterpenes isolated from the n-butanol fraction, also suppressed
the parasitaemia level, but not in a dose dependent manner. Fifteen days of therapy with
neoandrographolide before infection suppressed parasite.

Title: Hepatoprotective activity of andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata against
carbontetrachloride
Source: Ind J Med Res 92B: 276-283
Notes: The alcoholic extract of Andrographis paniculata exhibited significant antidiarrhoel activity
against E. coli enterotoxins in animal models. The activity was further located in n-butanol
fraction which led to the isolation of four diterpenes, andrographolide,
neoandrographolide, deoxyandrographolide and andrographoside. Among these,
andrographolide and neoandrographolide showed similar activity to loperamide against
E. coli LT & LT/ST enterotoxins. Andrographolide was found to be superior against ST
enterotoxin, the most common cause of epidemics of neonatal diarrhea.
