Description
Deoxyandrographolide is a labdane diterpenoid found in Andrographis. This compound is an isoprenoid that inhibits PAF in neutrophils. Deoxyandrographolide exhibits antioxidative, vasodilatory, and hepatoprotective activities. This compound activates cNOS and adenylyl cyclase, decreasing oxidative stress and ethanol-induced hepatic injury in vivo. Additionally, this compound decreases perfusion pressure and dilates vessels in vivo; it may also inhibit voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.
