| Biological Activity |
- Andrographolide (Andro) is a small antagonist for NF-κB activation by covalent modifying reduced cysteine 62 of p50. Andrographolide is a bicyclic diterpenoid lactone mainly produced from the plant Andrographis (Andrographis paniculate).
- Andrographolide suppresses the activation of NF-κB in stimulated endothelial cells, which reduces the expression of cell adhesion molecule E-selectin and prevents E-selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion, but has no effect on IκBα degradation, p50 and p65 nuclear translocation[1].
