Andrographolide is a member of the isoprenoid family of natural products. The precursors to isoprenoid biosynthesis, isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP), can be synthesized through either the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA) or deoxyxylulose pathway (DXP).
Andrographolide is a type of natural compound that belongs to the isoprenoid family. The substances needed for its creation, IPP and DMAPP, can be produced through two different methods: the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA) or the deoxyxylulose pathway (DXP).
