Table. Platelet Aggregation inhibition
Adenosine Water Extract Hexane Extract Chloroform Extract Ethanol Extract Methanol Extract
Inhibition ( %) 68.6 ± 4.3 72.7 ± 3.3 40.1 ± 5.6 44.7 ± 2.7 43.5 ± 6.6 68.8 ± 6.7
Values are mean ± SE (n = 8). Platelet counts was 1.5x108 cells/mL
of 250mg/ml showed a potent inhibition effect toward platelet aggregation. Compared with other extracts, water extract exhibited the strongest inhibition as well as adenosine (50uM/ml) as a positive control.
in Addition to this, methanol extracts showed relatively similar inhibition pattern with adenosine. Finally, this initial finding has provided the evidence of Phyllan-tus niruri L. action in platelet functions.
Madecassoside is the major triterpenoid saponins derived from Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, a medicinal plant used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Madecassoside possesses various biological activities, including antidepressant effect (1), burn wound healing and anti-inflammatory (2). in this study, we developed the immunoassay method for quantitative analysis of the major compounds in C. asiatica. A sensitive indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELiSA) was developed using polyclonal antibody against madecassoside. Madecassoside-bovine serum albumin conjugate was immunized to rabbits for producing polyclonal antibody. The results showed that the antibodies were specific for madecassoside and aisaticoside. The
range of the assay extends from 0.39 to 50 ig/ml. A good correlation between ELiSA and HPLC methods was obtained when analysis of total triterpenoid saponins in the crude extracts of plant samples. in addition, the products containing C. asiatica in various preparations were determined triterpenoid saponins content by competitive ELiSA. The developed ELiSA method can be used for quality assessment of C. asiatica and their products. References: (1) Liu, M. R., Han, T., Chen, Y., Qin, L. P., Zheng, H. C. and Rui, Y. C. (2004).
