Herbal Andrographis paniculata may be used as a therapeutic agent for treatment and drug resistance breast cancer, a study by the renowned institute suggested.
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,...
Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is a condition characterized by abnormal cells grow in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma).
In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.
According to the joint study led by the University of Kalyani, Andrographolide showed significant inhibition of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell proliferation in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.
The study also found that the inhibition of breast cancer cell line proliferation with no effect on normal breast epithelial cells, through reduced oxygen species (ROS) production and increased the population of apoptotic cells.
Other, in the study of the cytotoxic effect of a chemical compound, 14-Deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide (14-DDA), a major diterpenoid isolated from Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees, application of the products suppressed the T-47D breast carcinoma cells caused cytotoxicity and elicited a non-apoptotic cell death.
Also in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell, Andrographolide, a major chemical compound found in Andrographis exhibited strong anti-breast cancer cell growth activities in regulating breast cancer cell proliferation, survival and progression, and breast cancer metastasis through various mechanisms involved pro-inflammatory pathways.
Taking together, there is no doubt that Andrographis may be used as a possible chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent for human breast cancers. But a large amount of intake should only be prescribed by an herbalist.
