Madecassic acid is isolated from Centella asiatica (Umbelliferae). Madecassic acid has anti-inflammatory properties caused by iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 inhibition via the downregulation of NF-κB activation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells[1].
Madecassic acid (150μM, 24 h) inhibits LPS (HY-D1056)-induced iNOS and COX-2 protein expression[1].
Madecassic acid (p.o, 25 mg/kg, 10 days) reduces the level of IL-17 and the number of γδT17 cells in colon tissues of colitis mice, and attenuates colitis in mice[2].
