Abstract

Kalmegh is a valuable herb belonging to the family Acanthaceae that has been used traditionally in India and Southeast Asia to cure a variety of illnesses like diabetes, viral hepatitis, high blood pressure, ulcers, and malaria. It has many important bioactive compounds, such as diterpenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. The most common and abundant diterpenoid is andrographolide. It cures and prevents several diseases in humans. Andrographis and its extract have been documented for their various medicinal uses. A full bibliographic inquiry was conducted using extensively used scientific databases like Web of Science, research articles, and online as well as offline sources. A goal of the current review is to analyze the Andrographis paniculata's traditional usage, chemical components, and biological activities to highlight, explore, and lay the groundwork for future research.
