Plant Biotechnology Laboratory, Biotechnology Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur 721 302, West Bengal, India.
The antimicrobial activity of aqueous extract, andrographolides and arabinogalactan proteins from Andrographis paniculata were evaluated. The aqueous extract showed significant antimicrobial activity, which may be due to the combined effect of the isolated arabinogalactan proteins and andrographolides.
