==Biosynthesis==
While andrographolide is a relatively simple [diterpene](/source/diterpene) [lactone](/source/lactone), the biosynthesis by Andrographis paniculata was determined in the 2010s.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Garg A, Agrawal L, Misra RC, Sharma S, Ghosh S | title = Andrographis paniculata transcriptome provides molecular insights into tissue-specific accumulation of medicinal diterpenes | journal = BMC Genomics | volume = 16 | issue = 1 | pages = 659 | date = September 2015 | pmid = 26328761 | pmc = 4557604 | doi = 10.1186/s12864-015-1864-y | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sharma SN, Jha Z, Sinha RK, Geda AK | title = Jasmonate-induced biosynthesis of andrographolide in Andrographis paniculata | journal = Physiologia Plantarum | volume = 153 | issue = 2 | pages = 221–9 | date = February 2015 | pmid = 25104168 | doi = 10.1111/ppl.12252 }}</ref> Andrographolide is a member of the [isoprenoid](/source/isoprenoid) family of [natural products](/source/natural_products). The precursors to isoprenoid biosynthesis, [isopentenyl pyrophosphate](/source/isopentenyl_pyrophosphate) (IPP) and [dimethylallyl pyrophosphate](/source/dimethylallyl_pyrophosphate) (DMAPP), can be synthesized through either the [mevalonic acid pathway](/source/mevalonic_acid_pathway) (MVA) or [deoxyxylulose pathway](/source/deoxyxylulose_pathway) (DXP).<ref name=Srivastava>{{cite journal | vauthors = Srivastava N, Akhila A | title = Biosynthesis of andrographolide in Andrographis paniculata | journal = Phytochemistry | volume = 71 | issue = 11–12 | pages = 1298–304 | date = August 2010 | pmid = 20557910 | doi = 10.1016/j.phytochem.2010.05.022 | bibcode = 2010PChem..71.1298S }}</ref> Through selective C13 labeling of the precursors to both the MVA and DXP pathways, it was determined that the majority of the andrographolide precursors are synthesized through the DXP pathway.<ref name=Srivastava/> There are a small portion of andrographolide precursors synthesized through the MVA pathway. The biosynthesis of andrographolide begins with the addition of IPP to DMAPP, which forms [geranyl pyrophosphate](/source/geranyl_pyrophosphate). Another molecule of IPP is then added, yielding [farnesyl pyrophosphate](/source/farnesyl_pyrophosphate) (FPP). The final IPP molecule is added to the FPP to complete the backbone of the diterpene. The double bond originating from DMAPP is oxidized to an [epoxide](/source/epoxide) prior to the ring closing cascade that forms two six-membered rings. A series of oxidations form a five-membered lactone in addition to adding on the alcohol groups. The order of these post-synthetic modifications is not entirely known.<ref name=Srivastava/>
