Description
Dehydroandrographolide is a labdane diterpene found in Andrographis that exhibits antiviral, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities. In vitro, this compound inhibits hepatitis B virus replication. Additionally, dehydroandrographolide decreases LPS-induced expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and malondialdehyde and increases levels of superoxide dismutase in animal models of lung injury.
