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 natural product belonging to the isoprenoid family. The building blocks for its synthesis, IPP and DMAPP, can be created via two different routes: the mevalonic acid pathway (MVA) or the deoxyxylulose pathway (DXP).
