The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting TNFα or IL-1β expression using an extract of Andrographis paniculata. The present invention is based on the surprising discovery that an extract of sensinren inhibits the expression of both TNFα and IL-1β. The extract contains andrographolide, 14-deoxy-andrographolide, 14-deoxy-11,12-dehydrogen andrographolide, and neoandrographolide. [Selection figure] None |
