  1. INTRODUCING A HERBAL REMEDY for Hepatoprotection

  2. Andrographispaniculata Nees Flower Aerial Part

  3. Background • Known in Ayurveda since 5000 B.C • Used widely in India • Standardised from “Seed to Shelf” • Broad range of pharmacological effects : promotes healthy immune system, normal liver functions and others • Safe for human administration • Advisable and suitable as a dietary supplement

  4. Phytochemistry The main bioactive constituents of Andrographis paniculata are diterepene lactones, andrographolide, neoandrographolide, 14-Deoxy-11,12-dihydroandrographolide, andrographiside and andrograpanin. 14 Deoxy-11,12-dihydroandrographolide Neoandrographolide Andrographolide

  5. Pharmacokinetics of Andrographis paniculata • Rapid metabolism of drug in the body • After oral administration Bioavailability : 44.06% Peak absorption at : 30.75 minutes Peak plasma concentration : 16μg/ml • Crosses brain barrier rapidly • Peak drug concentration seen in gall bladder, stomach, liver & small intestine after 30 minutes • Excreted through urine and feces. Ref: Chang HM, But PPH, (Ed), Pharmacology and applications of Chinese Materia Medica (Vol. 1&2), 1987, World Scientific, Singapore

  6. Protection Against Paracetamol Induced Damage in Rat Hepatocytes Animals were given a single oral toxic dose of paracetamol 2g/kg Andrographolide dose: 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, 12 mg/kg for 7 days Silymarin dose: 3, 6, 12, 20 mg/kg for 7 days Both Andrographolide and Silymarin pretreatment as compared to paracetamol treated animals showed • Dose dependent increase in viability of isolated hepatocytes • Dose dependent increase in oxygen uptake by isolated hepatocytes. • The increase in both parameters was more with Andrographolide than with silymarin

  7. Biochemical parameters • In isolated hepatocytes the levels of GOT, GPT and ALP were significantly lower • In serum GOT, GPT and ALP levels decreased significantly. • The decrease in both parameters was more with Andrographolide than with silymarin “Andrographolide was found to be more potent than Silymarin (Milk thistle) a standard hepatoprotective agent” Ref: Visen et. al. (1993) J. Ethnopharmacol. 40: 131-136

  9. Hepatoprotective effects against Carbon Tetrachloride induced Liver damage Liver damage was caused by 1 ml/kg CCl4 subcutaneously twice weekly for eight weeks. 300 mg/kg alcoholic extract of Andrographis intragastric daily for 8 weeks in rats caused • significant decrease in SGPT & Alkaline phosphatase levels as compound to CCl4 treated control group • significant decrease in hypnosis [(sleeping time) (improvement in the functioning of liver cells)] Ref. Rana AC, Avadhoot Y (1991) Arch Pharm Res 14(1); 93-95

  10. Effect of Alcoholic extract A. paniculata on biochemical parameters in rats

  11. Choleretic effect of Andrographolide in Rats and Guinea pigs Andrographolide at a dose ranging (1.5 – 12mg/kg) orally produced significant dose dependent choleretic effect as evidenced by ; • Increase in bile flow • Increase in bile salt • Increase in bile acids Paracetamol induced decrease in volume and content of bile was prevented by Andrographolide “Effect was more potent than silymarin” Ref: Shukla et al 1992, Planta medica, 58,146 – 149.

  14. Hepatoprotection against Carbon tetrachloride induced toxicity Liver damage was caused by CCl4, 2ml/kg bw sc in equal vol of olive oil on 2nd and 3rd days. • Rats were treated for 4 days with • Andrographolide :100 mg/kg i.p. • Methanolic extract extract: 861.33 mg/kg ip • Andrographolide free met. ext. : 761.33 mg/kg ip • Andrographolide treatment • exerted max. inhibition against CCl4 induced increase in five biochemical parameters - SGOT, SGPT ALP, Bilirubin and Hepatic triglycerides • Significantly ameliorates toxin induced histopathological changes in liver. Ref. Handa SS, Sharma A (1990) Ind. J. Med. Res. [B] 92: 276-283

  15. Effect of different fractions of Andrographis on biochemical parameters in CCL4 intoxicated rats

  16. Hepatoprotection against galactosamine induced toxicity • Acute hepatitis induced in rats by single dose of : • Galactosamine 800 mg/kg i.p. Treatment of rats with 400 mg/kg i.p. or 800 mg/kg (orally) 48, 24 & 2 h before galactosamine administration leads to • Complete normalization of toxin induced increase of all five biochemical parameters - SGOT, SGPT ALP, Bilirubin and Hepatic triglycerides • Significantly ameliorates toxin induced histopathological changes in liver. Ref. Handa SS, sharma A (1990) Ind. J. Med. Res. [B] 92: 284-292

  17. Effect of pretreatment with different doses of Andrographolide on galatosamine intoxicated rats Andrographolide was administed 48,24 and 2 hours prior to GaiN

  18. Hepatoprotection against Paracetamol induced toxicity Acute hepatitis induced in rats by single dose of Paracetamol 3 g/kg p.o. Treatment of rats with 200 g/kg i.p. 1, 4 & 7 h after paracetamol administration leads to • Complete normalization of toxin induced increase of all five biochemical parameters - SGOT, SGPT ALP, Bilirubin and Hepatic triglycerides • Significantly ameliorates toxin induced histopathological changes in liver. Ref. Handa SS, sharma A (1990) Ind. J. Med. Res. [B] 92: 284-292

  19. Effect of pretreatment with different doses of Andrographolide on Paracetamol intoxicated rats

  20. Antihepatotoxic effects of major diterpenoid constituents of A. paniculata • Hepatotoxicity was induced in mice by CCl4 or tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP) • Pretreatment of mice with the diterpenes- • Andrographolide, • Andrographiside, • Neoandrographolide • (100 mg/kg, i.p.) for 3 consecutive days in either group of the toxin-treated animals produced • significant reduction in malondialdehyde formation, • reduced glutathione (GSH) depletion and • enzymatic leakage of glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and alkaline phosphatase (AP)

  21. Contd Comparison with silymarin revealed that Andrographolide exhibited a lower protective potential than andrographiside and neoandrographolide which were as effective as silymarin with respect to their effects on • the formation of the degradation products of lipid peroxidation • release of GPT and AP in the serum. The greater protective activity of Andrographiside and Neoandrographolide could be due to their glycosidic nature which may act as strong antioxidants. Ref: Kapil et. al. (1993) Biochem Pharmacol. Jul 6;46(1):182-5.

  22. In vivo effects of Andrographis leaf extract and Andrographolide on Hepatic Lipid peroxidation Singe or repeated dose(15 days) of Andrographis extract(500mg/kg) or Andrographolide (5mg/kg) in rats produced • No significant change in NADPH induced microsomal Lipid peroxidation CCl4 (5ml/kg) induced hepatic microsomal Lipid peroxidation was decreased when; Rats were pretreated (4 hr) but only with singe dose and not long term administration of both Andrographis extract(500mg/kg) or Andrographolide (5mg/kg) Ref: Choudhury et. al. (1984) Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol. 6(9):481-5

  23. In vitro effects of Andrographis leaf extract and Andrographolide on Hepatic Lipid peroxidation In vitro CCl4 (1 ul) induced hepatic microsomal Lipid peroxidation was completely normalized by both • Andrographis leaf extract (0.5 and 5 mcg/mg protein) • Andrographolide (0.5 and 5 mcg/mg protein) At higher concentration of CCl4 (2ul) Hepatic microsomal Lipid peroxidation remained • significantly increased in presence of Andrographolide (0.5mcg/mg pr.) • but not in presence of Andrographis leaf extract (0.5 mcg/mg protein) Ref: Choudhury et. al. (1984) Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol. 6(9):481-5

  24. Effect of Andrographis extract on mouse hepatic drug metabolising enzymes Dose – 50 and 100mg/kg of 80% hydroalc extract for 14days in mice. Both dose levels cause significant increase in levels of ; • Acid soluble sulphydryl (-SH) content • Cytochrome P450 • Cytochrome P450 reductase • Cytochrome b5 reductase • Glutathione S-Transferase • DT-diaphorase • Superoxidase dismutase Ref: Singh et al, (2001) Phytoether. Res. 15,382-390

  25. In vivo effect on Hepatic Microsomal Drug metabolizing Enzymes in rats Single oral doses of • Kalmegh extract = 0.5 and 1.0 g/Kg • Andrographilide = 5 and 10 mg/kg • Inhibited • Aniline hydroxylase • N-demethylase • O-demethylase Repeated doses for 7 to 30 days produced induction of all the above enzymes. Ref: Choudhury et al, (1987), Planta medica, 135-140

  26. In vitro effect on Hepatic Microsomal Drug metabolizing Enzymes in rats • Kalmegh extract : 50 and 500µg/mg protein • Andrographilide : 0.5 and 5 µg/mg protein • did not cause the inhibition of the • Aniline hydroxylase activity • Not produced any appreciable effect on • N-demethylase activity • O-demethylase activity Ref: Choudhury et al, (1987), Planta medica, 135-140

  27. Effect of Andrographis extract on liver tumor Liver damage ultimately leading to tumor was induced in albino mice by hexachloro cyclohexane (BHC)(500 ppm/kg of food for 1 to 8 month) In animals supplemented with AP extract, compared to BHC control animals. • The liver marker enzymes viz. SGOT, SGPT & ALP were lowered • The protein levels were increased This confirms hepatoprotective property of AP and its probable role in delaying hepatic tumorogenic condition. Ref. Trivedi A, Rawal UM (1998) IJP 30; 318-322

  28. Hepatoprotection of Andrographis extract against BHC induced severe liver damage Liver damage was caused by BHC (500 ppm/kg food for 1 to 8 months) Mice supplemented with Andrographis extract 12 mg/kg orally showed compared to BHC control group • Significant decline in ALT and AST • Significant decrease in ALP & gama glutamyl transpeptidase • Significant decrease in lipid peroxidase activity as compared to BHC • Significant increase in GSH levels Ref. Trivedi N, Raval UM (2000) Indian Journal of Pharmacology 32: 288-293

  29. Hepatoprotective and Antioxidant property of AP Liver damage was caused by BHC (500 ppm/kg food for 1 to 8 months) in mice. Animals supplemented with Andrographis extract, 12 mg/kg b.w./day orally. • Increased activity of Glutathione reductase (GR) with parallel increase in GSH levels • Significant decrease in activity of lipid peroxidation • Less of GST activity • Reduction in  GPT activity • Increase in SOD, CAT and GSH-PX Ref.
