Andrographis, The Best Anti Platelet Aggregation Herbal Medicine

A recent vitro study suggested that Andrographis paniculata exerted an enormous inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation.

Antiplatelet activity is the effect of decreased platelet aggregation and inhibited thrombus formation.

Andrographis paniculata is also known as Andrographis is a herbaceous plant, genus Andrographis, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to India and Sri Lanka, used in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic in treating the common cold, flu, upper respiratory infections, infectious diseases, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, pneumonia,.....

According to the Mahidol University, diterpenoids isolated from the plant, including andrographolide (AP(1)) and 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide (AP(3)) in the thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, significantly inhibited blood clot a concentration-(1-100 microM) but not in higher doses, and time-dependent manner.

The study also suggested that the effect of this action was attributed to the inhibition of the regulation of functions in differentiate cells.

Due to inefficacy in applications of higher concentrations, Dr. said, "the extract with high level of AP(3) (Extract B) (IC(50) values=50-75 microg/ml) showed less inhibitory activity against thrombin than the extract with lower level of AP(3) (Extract A) (IC(50) values=25-50 microg/ml). These results indicate that the standardized A. paniculata extract may contain other antiplatelet compounds rather than AP(1) and AP(3), which contribute to high antiplatelet activity".

In comparison to platelet aggregation effects with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID), treatment of the herbal medicine showed a strong influence on the biosynthesis of eicosanoids in cell signaling and the platelet-activating factor (PAF) with the ability to cause platelet aggregation, inflammation, and allergic response,...


The study also proposed that the mechanism of these actions may be associated with the cardiovascular and antithrombotic activity compared to that of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID),

Other study insisted that the effects of andrographolide in platelet activation may be a result of reducing the mortality of ADP-induced acute pulmonary thromboembolism and significantly prolonged platelet clumping formation of which decrease the platelet aggregation activity.


Taking together, there is no doubt that herbal Andrographis processes an anti-Platelet Aggregation through exhibiting the functions of various mechanisms. People with bleeding disorders should only take herbal medicine with the permission of related field specialists.
