Andrographis lineata  is an herbal medicinal plant used in traditional medicine as a substitute for  Andrographis paniculata . Here, using mature leaf explants of  A .  lineata  we demonstrate for the first time the callus induction established on MS medium containing 1.0 mg l –1  IAA. Dried callus was subjected to solvent extraction with acetone. Further the acetone residue was separated by silica gel column chromatography, crystallized and characterized on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance (proton and c13) and liquid chromatographic mass spectroscopy. This analysis revealed the occurrence of two known flavones namely, 7- O -methylwogonin (MW) and Echioidinin (ED). Furthermore, these compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against leukemic cell line, CEM. We identify that ED and MW induced cytotoxicity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Further increase in the LDH release upon treatment with ED and MW further confirmed our cytotoxicity results against leukemic cell line. Strikingly, MW was more potent than ED when compared by trypan blue and MTT assays. Our results recapitulate the utility of callus cultures for the production of plant specific bioactive secondary metabolites instead of using wild plants. Together, our  in vitro  studies provide new insights of  A .  lineata  callus cultures serving as a source for cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
