Abstract
Andrographis paniculata (Hempedu bumi), from Acanthaceae family is a traditional medicinal plant for diseases of malaria, inflammatory respiratory, asthma, bronchitis, dysentery and many others. The effects of ethanolic extracts of Andrographis paniculata (AP) (5, 50 and 500 IJg/mg) on UOPglucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes from microsome and glutathione-Stransferase (GST) enzymes from post mitochondria of liver of male Sprague Dawley (SO) rats were examined under in vitro conditions. The effects of Andrographolide (AND) (concentrations of 5 and 50 IJg/mg), an important bioactive compound of AP on UGT and GST enzymes were also studied in vitro. In vivo studies involved the effect of AP extracts on normal male SO rats (142---X 21 g) which received AP ethanol extracts (75 mg/kg/day) for 15 consecutive days and compared with control. UGT and GST enzyme activities were studied with substrates p-nitrophenol and 1-chloro-2, 4 dinitrobenzene (CONB) respectively, using spectrometric method. Results were compared with control by using t test with P<0.05 as significant value. In vitro studies showed that AP at concentration 5 IJg/mg significantly increased the UGT enzyme activities but there was no effect on GST. AP at 50 IJg/mg showed no effect on UGT and GST activities, however AP at 500 ~g/mg significantly decreased the UGT and GST activities. In vitro study on AND concentrations at 5 and 50 ~g/mg showed no changes on UGT and GST activities compared to controls. In vivo study showed that the activity of UGT and GST enzymes from rats treated with extract of AP 75 mg/kg/day for 15 days decreased significantly (P<0.05) than controls. In conclusion, in vitro studies showed that the extracts of AP at various doses had different effects on the activities of UGT and GST enzymes. In vivo studies showed that AP given for 15 days decreased significantly the enzyme activities of UGT and GST. AND at concentrations of 5 and 50 ~g/mg had no effects on UGT and GST activities (in vitro).
