Andrographis paniculata
Anti-tumourstrong evidence
Andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata is one of the most researched natural anti-cancer diterpenes. It inhibits NF-κB and STAT3, induces apoptosis in breast, colon, prostate, and leukemia cells, and enhances immune cell activity. Studies show it reduces chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression and liver toxicity, making it valuable as a chemo-protectant.
