<p>Applications Madecassic Acid is a terpenoid with an ursane skeleton isolated from Centella asiatica. Madecassic Acid displays anti-inflammatory properties as a result of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 inhibition via the downregulation of NF-kappaB activation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Madecassic Acid is found in cosmetic products due to its skin-protective activities.<br>References Wonh, J.H. et al.: Planta Med., 76, 251 (2010); Kwon, M.C. et al.: J.
