Asiaticoside has been tested for the ability as an anti-inflammatory drug using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7 cell). LPS treatment induced dramatically inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in RAW cells. However, asiaticoside inhibited LPS-stimulated iNOS induction in a concentration-dependent manner. Especially, higher concentrations (＞50 $\mu\textrm{M}$) of asiaticoside completely blocked iNOS induction. In addition, LPS-stimulated expression of inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-2) and interleukin-1 $\alpha$ (IL-1 $\alpha$) was inhibited by asiaticoside treatment. Asiaticoside up to 50 $\mu\textrm{M}$ still required to inhibit COX-2 and IL-1 $\alpha$ induced by LPS. Consistent with these findings, treatment with asiaticoside suppressed do novo synthesis and cellular accumulation of prostaglandin $E_2$ to a lesser extent, suggesting that asiaticoside blocked the induction as well as the activity of COX-2 These results suggest the possibility that asiaticoside may be effective therapeutic agents for septic shock and other inflammatory diseases.

Centella asiatica accumulates large amounts of triterpene saponin, such as centellasaponin, asiaticoside, madecassoside. We examined the effect of two candidates, MJ (Methyl jasmonate) and TDZ (thidiazuron), on asiaticoside production and the accumulation of bAS mRNA associated with asiaticoside biosynthesis in leaves of cultured whole plants. The growth of whole plants treated with 0.1 mM MJ was found to decrease significantly, however, the growth of whole plants treated with 0.1 mM MJ plus 0.025 mg/l TDZ was better than that treated with MJ alone. When MJ alone was added to culture medium, asiaticoside contents in leaves were higher than that of control after 7 days of treatments. The maximum level of bAS $({\beta}-amyrin\;synthsae)$ mRNA in leaves of whole plant treated TDZ and MJ was transiently observed after exposure to 5 days. These results showed the up-regulation of bAS gene by adding TDZ and MJ at the molecular level, however, synergic effects of TDZ and MJ on asiaticoside biosynthesis were not testified.

Novel asiaticoside mimetics simplified the sugar moiety by tetrahydropyrans (THP) were designed, synthesized and tested their wound healing effects by tensile strength measurement. From this study, it is speculated that the sugar moiety of asiaticoside could be simplified to tetrahydropyrans without a significant loss of wound healing effect.

Background: Centella asiatica is a well-known medicinal plant having a wound healing effect. In this study, the growth, asiaticoside content, and antioxidant components and activity were investigated in C. asiatica resources under different cultivation and irrigation conditions. Methods and Results: The cultivation and irrigation methods were divided as greenhouse and open field, and sprinkler and sub irrigation. respectively. Growth characteristics were measured in aerial parts of C. asiatica. Asiaticoside content was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Total polyphenol, total flavonoid and 2,2-diphenyl-1picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were analyzed for antioxidant activities. Growth was higher under greenhouse and sub irrigation than open field and sprinkler conditions. In the leaves, asiaticoside content was 53.45 mg/g (open field) and 34.38 mg/g (sub irrigation), total polyphenol was 41.14 mg/g (open field) and 25.73 mg/g (sub-irrigation), and total flavonoid was 27.26 mg/g (open field) and 23.72 mg/g (sub-irrigation). DPPH radical scavenging activity in the leaves was 85.97 mg·ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE)/g (open field) and 54.83 mg·AAE/g (sub irrigation). Conclusions: Asiaticoside and antioxidant components and activity were not accompanied with high yield, although high growth was observed under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, cultural requirements of C. asiatica should be sufficiently considered to suit each purpose.

Extract of Centella asiatica(ECA), which is poorly water-soluble extract from the Centella asiatica is known to express excellent wound healing properties. $ECA-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ $(asiaticoside-{\beta}-cyclodextrin\;and\;genin-{\beta}-cyc1odextrin)$ solid dispersion system, which was prepared by freezedrying method, was formulated as gels containing poloxamer 407 and propylene glycol, and evaluated with respect to their viscosity, stability, skin permeation and drug amount in the skin of hairless mouse. The average molar ratio $asiaticoside-{\beta}-CD$ and $genin-{\beta}-CD$ was 1:1.7 and 1:22, respectively. When the molar ratio of genin and ${\beta}-CD$ was 1:5, madecassic acid made 100% solid dispersion system and asiatic acid about 65%. In dissolution study, >99% of asiaticoside from $asiaticoside-{\beta}-CD$ was dissolved in 5 minutes, and >99% madecassic acid and >64% asiatic acid from $genin-{\beta}-CD$. The apparent viscosity of poloxamer 407 gels with $ECA-{\beta}-CD$ solid dispersion system increased in proportion to poloxamer 407 and propylene glycol concentration. In the accelerated stability test, all $ECA-{\beta}-CD$ poloxamer 407 gels showed that asiaticoside was most stable and madecassic acid stable and asiatic acid similar to stability of gel with free ECA. The permeation amount of asiaticoside in poloxamer gels through hairless mouse skin decreased as the concentration of poloxamer 407 increased. When propylene glycol was added at the level of 10%, the permeation amount of asiaticoside at poloxamer gels through hairless mouse skin increased but from 15% it decreased. The permeation of asiaticoside into the skin of hairless mouse was estimated to be about $0.10\;{\mu}g/cm^2$.

이 연구는 인간진피섬유아(HDF)세포에서 병풀 및 아시아티코사이드가 H₂O₂ 유래 세포주기 정지기, 미토콘드리아 활성 및 염증성 사이토카인에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 병풀 80% 메탄올 추출물, 에틸아세티이트 분획물 및 병풀의 대표물질인 아시아티코사이드를 사용하였다. 병풀 추추물, 에틸아세테이트 분획 및 아시아티코사이드로 처리한 세포는 낮은 수준의 TNF-α 및 IL-6을 분비하였고, 아시아티코사이드의 항산화 효과는 병풀 추출물 및 에틸아세테이트 분획물보다 높았다. 아시아티코사이드 처리는 미토콘드리아의 막포텐셜을 증가시키고, 미토콘드리아를 정상으로 되돌렸다. 스트레스 유도 후 에틸아세테이트 분획물 및 아시아티코사이드에 의해 미토콘드리아 산소 소비율이 증가하였고, TLR4-MyD88-TRAF6-p65 경로가 재감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 병풀 추출물, 에틸 아세테이트 분획 및 아시아티코사이드가 HDF 세포의 미토콘드리아 활성을 조절할 뿐 아니라 항산화 및 항염증에 효과 있음을 시사한다.

병풀(Centella asiatica) 추출물인 asiaticoside와 madecassoside는 항균성 및 피부재생 등의 효과로 인해 아시아 지역에서 치료용 연고에 사용되고 있으며, 병풀의 재배 및 추출효율을 높이기 위한 연구가 상업화를 위해 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 환경 친화적인 추출 용매인 deep eutectic solvents(DESs)가 병풀에서 asiaticoside와 madecassoside의 추출 효율에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 다양한 수소결합 받개(hydrogen bond acceptor, HBA)와 주개(hydrogen bond donor, HBD)의 혼합 몰비(HBA1: HBD2, HBA1:HBD3, HBA1:HBD4, 그리고 HBA1:HBD5)로 제조하여 추출용매로 사용하였며, 용매 추출에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 추출용매인 증류수(DW)와 methanol (MeOH)의 추출 결과를 최적화된 HPLC조건으로 분리하여 정량 분석하였다. 그 결과, DW와 DES를 3:7로 혼합하여 사용한 경우가 단일 MeOH를 사용한 경우보다 약 1.4배 높은 추출 효율을 보였다. 반대로 MeOH과 DES를 3:7로 혼합하여 사용하는 경우에서는 단일 MeOH를 사용하는 경우보다 약 6 % 낮은 추출 효율을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 경남 합천에서 수집한 병풀 12 자원을 대상으로 생육적 특성, 주요성분 함량, 항산화성분 및 활성 분석을 통해 우수한 특성을 지닌 병풀 자원의 확보 및 특성 분석을 위한 기초 연구로써 진행되었다. 수집 자원 중 생육적 특성이 우수한 품종은 CA10, CA9, CA1, CA4 및 CA12 였고, 그중에서도 특히 CA10이 건물중이 높았으며 지표성분인 asiaticoside 함량이 높은 자원은 CA5와 CA3 이었다. 또한, 항산화 성분인 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드를 가장 많이 함유하고 DPPH의 활성이 가장 높은 자원은 CA12으로 지표성분 함량은 적지만, 건물중도 높고 항산화 성분이 풍부한 자원으로 확인되었다. 그러나 수집 자원의 우수한 생육적 특성이 지표성분, 항산화 성분 및 활성이 반드시 일치하지 않는 것으로 확인되어 향후 수량성, asiaticoside, 항산화물질 및 활성 등 각 특성을 목적으로 하는 자원 선발이 필요할것으로 보여진다. 또한 병풀이 제한적인 자생 범위를 갖고 있는 만큼 추가적인 재래 자원 수집을 통한 다양한 특성 연구가 보완되어야 할 것이다.
