Abstract
Andrographolide, a labdane diterpenoid, is extracted and isolated from the plants of
Andrographis paniculata. Andrographolide and its derivatives exhibited a wide range of biological
properties, including anticancer activity, antibacterial activity, hepatoprotective activity, antiinflammatory
activity, antiviral activity, antimalarial activity, antidiabetic activity, insecticidal activity,
etc. As a continuation, this review aims at giving an overview of the recent advances (from 2015 to
2018) of andrographolide and its derivatives with regard to bioactivities, mechanisms of action, structural
modifications, and structure-activity relationships.
Keywords:
Andrographolide, biological activity, mechanism of action, structural modification, structure-activity relationship.
