Research progress in molecular pharmacognosy of Andrographis paniculata
Molecular pharmacognosy as an emerging interdisciplinary subject based on molecular biology and Chinese materia medi-ca aims to study the synthesis and molecular regulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants.Andrographis Herba,the dried aboveground part of Andrographis paniculata,has liver-protecting,bile secretion-promoting,heat-clearing,toxin-removing,antimicro-bial,and anti-inflammatory effects.The quality instability caused by plant varieties,environment,and technology in the production of A.paniculata is a limiting factor for the sustainable development of this industry.Based on the research methods of molecular pharma-cognosy and omics,the regulation of secondary metabolites of A.paniculata has become the key solution to the quality problems of A.paniculata.This paper summarized the recent research achievements in the molecular pharmacognosy of A.paniculata,including molecular identification of the resources,genetic diversity,multi-omics,biosynthesis of active compounds,and germplasm resource in-novation,and prospected the future development trend in this field.In-depth research of molecular pharmacognosy of A.paniculata will provide more scientific and effective technical support for the development of its medicinal value,give new insights into the cultivation of new A.paniculata varieties,and promote the high-quality sustainable development of this industry.
