Labdane diterpenoid lactone andrographolide has gained attention in medicinal research due to its potential anticancer properties in terms of suppression of the growth, propagation, and relocation of various types of cancerous cells. The current review provides deep insight into the pharmacological analysis of the anticancer secondary metabolite andrographolide. We have attempted to keep an overview on the interaction of promising drugs like ligand molecule andrographolide with various biological targets. The observation indicates that andrographolide significantly down-regulates the growth of cancer cells through various mechanisms diminishing inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, attenuating Akt and JNK signalling cascade, inhibiting NF-B activation, ROS generation in the neoplastic cells etc. This bio-molecule is a potent therapeutic agent that can be applied in treating and preventing inflammatory vascular diseases. This study may be beneficial in the area of drug development research, leading to better management of cancer and many other inflammatory diseases.

Three new monoterpenes compounds (5S, 8S)-5-(2E-butenyl)-8-methyl propionate-cyclopentanone (1), 1-Oxy, 10-keto-α-myrcene hydroxide (2), (3R,4R)-3-hydroxy-4-isobutenyl-cyclopentyl ester (3), along with eleven known small molecular compounds such as monoterpenes (1-7, 14), coumarin (10), and other small molecular compounds (8, 9, 11-13) were isolated from Seriphidium terrae-albae. The structures were elucidated by NMR, HRESIMS, ECD calculations, and X-ray crystallography. Anti-inflammatory activity test results showed that 9 compounds were detected to inhibit NO secretion by mouse macrophage Raw 264.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Xiaoyanlidan Tablet (XYLDT) is a Chinese patent medicine consisted of three traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) including Andrographis Herba (AH), Linearstripe Rabdosia Herba (LRH) and Picrasmae Ramulus et Folium (PRF). In Chinese traditional medicine theory, XYLDT has the "heat-clearing, dampness-dispelling and gallbladder function promoting" properties, and was widely used in the clinic for decades to treat pain in the subcostal region or bitter taste in the mouth, which were induced by liver-gallbladder dampness-heat. Meanwhile, it was also used for the therapy of acute cholecystitis and cholangitis.

Fibrosis is the terminal pathology of chronic illness in many organs, marked by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins. These changes influence organ function, ultimately resulting in organ failure. Although significant progress has been achieved in comprehending the molecular pathways responsible for fibrosis in the last decades, effective and approved clinical therapies for the condition are still lacking.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has quickly become a global health pandemic. Among the viral proteins, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is responsible for viral genome replication and has emerged as a promising target against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Dietary bioactive compounds represent an important source of evolutionarily optimized molecules with antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2 RdRp.
