Abstract

Centella asiatica (CA) is one of the most popular traditional herbal medicines worldwide. It has been used for centuries in many countries, especially for curing skin damage, and is now applied to treat various human diseases. There are various types of triterpenoids from Centella asiatica, with four pentacyclic triterpenoids with the main properties being shown by four pentacyclic triterpenoids: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. These terpenoids have similar structures, however each has a slightly different properties. Asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid are synthesized through the isoprenoid pathway known as mevalonate pathway to produce hydrophobic triterpenoid structures (aglycone) which contain hydrophilic sugar chains (glycone). Furthermore, asiaticoside and madecassoside are distinguished by a glycone, and asiatic acid and madecassic acid are distinguished by a aglycone. These pentacyclic triterpenoids have a wide spectrum of beneficial effects and have been used as anti-inflammatories, skin wound treatments, scar treatments, and cosmetics agents. This review aimed to provide a description of the four compounds, of their structure, pharmacological properties, applications in the treatment of various diseases, known mechanisms of action, and commentary on industrial applications.

从积雪草中分离出的五环三萜类化合物的药理作用
摘要 积雪草(CA)是世界上最受欢迎的传统草药之一。它在许多国家已被使用了几个世纪,特别是用于治疗皮肤损伤,现在又被用于治疗各种人类疾病。积雪草中的三萜类化合物种类繁多,其中有四种五环三萜类化合物,其主要特性由四种五环三萜类化合物表现出来:积雪草苷、积雪草甙、积雪草酸和积雪草酸。这些萜类化合物的结构相似,但各自的特性略有不同。积雪草苷、积雪草苷、积雪草酸和积雪草酸是通过被称为甲羟戊酸途径的异戊二烯途径合成的,生成疏水性三萜类结构(苷元),其中含有亲水性糖链(糖元)。此外,积雪草苷和积雪草苷以糖酮区分,积雪草酸和积雪草酸以苷元区分。这些五环三萜类化合物具有广泛的功效,已被用作消炎药、皮肤伤口治疗、疤痕治疗和美容剂。本综述旨在介绍这四种化合物的结构、药理特性、在治疗各种疾病中的应用、已知的作用机制以及工业应用评述。
