• Description: Madecassic acid is a triterpenoid compound, which is a natural chemical constituent of Centella asiatica, commonly known as Gotu Kola. This source is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Apiaceae family, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical countries. Madecassic acid acts primarily through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms. It modulates inflammatory responses by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathways and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, it contributes to cellular protection by scavenging reactive oxygen species.
