ABSTRACT Plants and plant derived agents have long history as source of potential chemotherapeutic agents in Ayurvedic and Unani system of medicine. The present study has been aimed to study the HIV (Reverse Transcriptase) and HBV (Surface antigen and DNA polymerase by Andrographic paniculata. The plant extract of the Andrographic paniculata has positive inhibitory effect on ethanol.methanol and aqueous extracts of a Andrographic paniculata showed positive inhibition against HIV-RT,HBsAg and HBV DNA Polymerase whereas petroleum ether, hexane and chloroform extracts did not inhibit both HIV and HBV . This is probably the first authentic scientific antiviral report from South India on Andrographic paniculata.Further investigations on the phytochemical of the compounds and the structure elucidation is imperative to confirm the same.
