Deskripsi

Mice exposed to 18 Gy irradiation and treated with varying doses of andrographolide for 4 weeks showed dose-dependent protection from radiation-induced lung injury. Representative images and quantitative data indicate that andrographolide significantly attenuated lung tissue damage.

Andrographolide ameliorates radiation-induced lung injury by inhibiting Caspase-1-mediated Gasdermin D-dependent pyroptosis in macrophages. This schematic illustrates how the compound prevents AIM2 from translocating into the nucleus, thereby blocking inflammasome assembly and downstream inflammatory cascades.
