The world’s first KKU launches the blue paniculata spray. With Andrographolide Nano Emulsion technology system, use a spray in the mouth, nose, receive a roadmap plan to unlock covids as an endemic disease, expected in early April to be released in pharmacies nationwide
at 2:30 p.m. on March 22, 2022 at the meeting room on the 2nd floor of Sirikunakorn Building. Khon Kaen University (KKU) Assoc.

Andrographolide (Andrographolide), which is such a substance in the sky and paniculata. Has received a lot of attention and has been developed even more with medical technology. There is a lot of research on medical information abroad. The KKU research team by the Research Department and the Graduate Studies Department has been conducting research studies on such substances all along. Until recently, success in the invention of guidelines The use of andrographolide to benefit the body effectively. in the form of nanoemulsions (nano-emulsion) for the first time in the world
Prof. Dr. Monchai Duangchinda, Vice Rector for Research and Graduate Studies, KKU, said that andrographolide, a substance in the Diterpene Lactone group, is a substance. An important active ingredient found in the herb Andrographis paniculata that has been reported in academics both in Thailand and abroad that it has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. and antiviral It is a bitter substance. Currently, the herb Andrographis paniculata is used from leaves or other parts. or crude extracts in the form of pills, tablets and capsules which is used in the form of capsules There will be about 1.38-3.21% andrographolide that is important, depending on the planting site. and because it is insoluble in water As a result, andrographolide is absorbed and utilized in the body only 2.67%, thus requiring intake of 4 capsules at a time and continuously 4 times a day for a total of 12 capsules per day or the amount of powder. 6,000 mg/day which is equivalent to 60 mg of andrographolide per day
“Researchers have researched and developed pure andrographolide products. with nanoemulsion technology which increases the efficiency of absorption by many times It uses a small amount but has a high level of efficiency. Reduce the risk of eating herbs in the normal form in excess or over dose. It is the use of knowledge and technology from research to take advantage and extend to products for health care of Thai people in the situation.Covid-19 which nanoemulsion technology It has been used in many products for a long time. whether it is a product in the cosmetic group and medicine However, andrographolide has not been developed in this form. Almost all of the research studies on the medicinal benefits of andrographolide in powder form. Even nanoemulsification in the laboratory itself faces many problems, such as uniformity of particles smaller than 100 nm. In addition, the stability of the solution is also difficult to achieve. In the experiment, the appropriate type of substance and quantity must be found. and the pH must be adjusted so that the substance does not oxidation. And it’s not so acidic that it’s dangerous. Including must be flavored to reduce the bitterness of andrographolide. and has a flavor that is suitable for all ages.”
