EXTRACTION, ANALYSIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF A FAMILY OF DITERPENES

Abstract

Our study deals with a diterpenoid lactone family isolated from Andrographis paniculata. Our work was to perform extraction method, HPLC analysis and purification starting from commercial products. It led to the isolation of several pure compounds. Then, we investigated the effect of these molecules and the crude extracts towards immunostimulation.
