Highlights |
• | We first investigate that the effects of andrographolide sulfonate (AS) in mouse model of pneumonia caused by acute bacterial infection and We show that pretreatment with AS significantly attenuate infiltration of inflammatory cells. |
• | Combined treatment with AS and imipenem significantly inhibited the mortality in mice infected with K. pneumoniae, which shows important clinical significance. |
• | Combined therapy with AS and imipenem attenuate infiltration of inflammatory cells further and significantly decrease level of MCP-5 compared to treatment with drugs alone. |
Abstract |
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a primary cause of community-acquired and nosocomial respiratory infections, and K. pneumoniae resistance to the current treatment approach with carbapenem is worsening. Andrographolide is a natural diterpenoid from Andrographis paniculata that was shown to exert anti-inflammatory activity. We herein show that pretreatment with a water-soluble andrographolide sulfonate significantly attenuate lung injury and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Interestingly, mice receiving combined treatment with andrographolide sulfonate displayed perfect survival rate than the mice treatment with imipenem alone, and monocyte chemotactic protein 5 (MCP-5) level was decreased further. These findings suggest that andrographolide sulfonate could as a potential synergist for antibiotic treatment of bacteria-induced inflammation.
