BACKGROUND The nature and amount of dietary medicinal plants are known to influence rumen fermentation and nutrient digestibility in ruminants. Nonetheless, changes in nutrient digestibility and rumen metabolism in response to dietary Andrographis paniculata (AP) in goats are unknown. This study examined the effects of dietary supplementation of leaves and whole plant of AP on nutrient digestib...

The integration of Andrographis paniculata under Pinus roxburghii (Chir pine) plantation has been studied to evaluate the growth and yield for its economic viability and conservation. It was grown on three topographical aspects, namely, northern, north-western, and western, at a spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm, followed by three tillage depths, namely, minimum (0 cm), medium (up to 10 cm), and deep (u...

Antivenom activities of the alcoholic extracts of three species of Andrographis wall, were measured at a concentration of 10,25,50,75 and 100 μg/ml by in vitro assay of HRBC membrane lysis. All the extracts were found to be effective in the inhibition of in vitro HRBC lysis. The maximum antivenom activity was found in the alcoholicextract of Andrographis paniculata Nees.

Phytochemical studies of leaf of the herbs, Andrographis paniculata and Andrographis lineate (Acanthaceae) were carried out. Presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids saponins and tannins and absence of steroids and triterpenoids have been reported there in this herbs for the first time.

The present communication deals with medicinal uses of Andrographis paniculata Nees by the tribals in Tamilnadu. Hitherto unreported uses are presented based on the Malayli tribals of Tamilnadu.
