The present investigation is an overview on the biological assay done earlier on micropropagated plants of Andrographis paniculata. The effectiveness of the active compounds present in the plant extracts cause the production of growth inhibition zones that appear as clear areas surrounding the wells. Antimicrobial activity may be due to active components which are present in plant extracts. Regarding the solvent system for antioxidant assay, the method seems to work well with methanol or ethanol, neither of which seems to interfere with the reaction. The use of other solvents systems, such as almost neat extracts in water or chloroform, ethyl acetate, hexane and petroleum ether extracts, seems to give low values for the extent of reduction. The biochemical estimation results revealed the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, phenolics, flavonoids, saponins and alkaloids. This implies that the micropropagated plants are equally potent as that of the wild plants.
