Andrographis paniculata showed to improve gastric tone and prevent gastric dysfunction through the protection of its antioxidants, the renowned institute suggested.
Andrographis paniculata also known as Andrographis is a herbaceous plant, genus Andrographis, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to India and Sri Lanka. It has been used in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic in treating the common cold, flu, upper respiratory infections, infectious diseases, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, pneumonia,...
The gastroprotective effect is a condition involved that enhances the function of the digestive system against harmful organisms in induced chronic indigestion.
In the study of gastric ulcers induced by ethanol, aspirin, pylorus ligation, and cold restraint stress models, rats treated with rats pretreated with HAEAP (100,200,500mg/kg b. wt for 30 days) of Andrographis paniculata expressed a significant ulcer reduction, in a dose-dependent manner, according to the Bharathi Women's College.
Dr. Panneerselvam S, the lead author said, "The ulcer-preventing effect of HAEAP may partly be due to its regulating effect on H(+)K(+)ATPase activity and /or mucin preserving effects" and "The flavonoids present in the HAEAP might be responsible for the gastroprotective action probably by maintaining the antioxidants and thiol status in the gastrointestinal tract".
In support of the above differentiation, the review of a period of 1 year from 2014-2015, using semi-structured questionnaires from different traditional Bengali people having knowledge of medicinal plants, out of 49 plants under 46 genera belonging to 33 families, Andrographis paniculata is one of the most prominent plants used among the people of Southern Assam for treating digestive system disorders (DSD).
Furthermore, seed ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol extracts of Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees has drawn a lot of scientists' attention due to the limited success of chemical anthelmintics, a group of antiparasitic drugs (levamisole, flubendazole, and thiabendazole) in reducing gastrointestinal diseases.
In animal controls, ED(50), an ethanol extract of A. paniculata at a dose of 2.90 mg/ml, and in larval development assay at ED(50) of dose 4.26 mg/ml, showed significant effects against sheep parasite, Haemonchus contortus.
Taken together, there is no doubt that Andrographis paniculata consisted of a strong gastroprotective effect against the activities of harmful organisms, including parasites, and may be used as a functional food in improving digestive functions.
