Application


  • Antidepressant potential of triterpenoids: Madecassic acid, identified as a key triterpenoid in Centella asiatica, is explored for its antidepressant properties through in vivo and computational studies, underscoring its potential role in neuropsychiatric disorder treatments (Mando et al., 2024).

  • Cardiotoxicity assessment: Research indicates that madecassic acid can induce cardiotoxicity by promoting inflammation and generating excessive reactive oxygen species, highlighting critical safety concerns in its pharmacological use (Guo et al., 2024).

  • Neuroprotective effects in cognitive decline: A study demonstrates that Centella asiatica, containing madecassic acid, enhances memory and executive functions in aging rats, suggesting its therapeutic efficacy against age-related cognitive disorders (Firdaus et al., 2024).

  • Anti-angiogenic properties: Madecassic acid is investigated for its role in inhibiting angiogenesis, with network pharmacology and experimental validation pointing to potential applications in cancer treatment strategies (Zhao et al., 2024).

  • Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects: This compound from Centella asiatica extract is shown to exert antioxidative and anti-neuroinflammatory effects, particularly beneficial in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer′s (Hambali et al., 2024).
