Abstract:
Isoandrographolide-19-propionate for treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) relates to the compound isoandrographolide-19-propionate (IAN-19P), having the structural formula: and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compound is synthesized by reaction of isoandrographolide with anhydrous propionic acid in the presence of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine. In vitro testing shows that isoandrographolide-19-propionate has lower toxicity than andrographolide, but has significantly high activity at a concentration of 50 μM. IAN-19P produced normal triglyceride levels and significantly lowered lipoperoxide formation in palmitate-oleate induced steatotic HepG2 cells, and also lowered ALT leakage from the treated cells.
