Product Description

Asiatic acid (Dammarolic acid, Asiantic acid) is a pentacyclic triterpene that naturally occurs in a variety of plants, including the plant C. asiatica. It is also an aglycone of the asiaticoside. This pentacyclic triterpene is frequently used to treat wounds and may have anti-inflammatory properties. Asiatic acid not only reduces inflammation but also promotes the production of collagen, which speeds up the healing process after wounds. Breast cancer cells have been shown to undergo apoptosis and cell cycle arrest when exposed to it. Furthermore, it lessens the cognitive deficits and neuronal damage brought on by mice receiving glutamate in vivo. in Centella asiatica, a pentacyclic triterpene.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
p38 MAPK
ln Vitro
Two human breast cancer cell lines were exposed to asiatic acid, which inhibited cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner, with MCF-7 being more susceptible than MDA-MB-231. For MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, asiatic acid's IC50 values were 5.95 M and 8.12 M, respectively.
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK Kinase Activity Assays, as well as Immunoprecipitation/Immunoblot. When MAPK inhibitors were present or absent, cells were exposed to 10 μM asiatic acid for the allotted amount of time. Apoptosis assay kit made by BioVision Inc., Mountain View, California, was used to separate the mitochondrial and cytoplasmic fractions. In order to prepare the cells for immunoblotting, they were lysed on ice for 40 minutes in a solution containing 50 mM Tris, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM EGTA, 12 mM β-glycerol phosphate, 10 mM NaF, and 16 μg/ml benzamidine hydrochloride, 10 μg/ml phenanthroline, 10 μg/ml aprotinin, 10 μg/ml leupeptin, 10 μg/ml pepstatin, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. The supernatant fraction from the 15-minute 14,000g centrifugation of the cell lysate was used for immunoblotting. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to resolve equivalent amounts of protein (10–12%), which were then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membrane was incubated with the desired primary antibody for 1 to 16 hours after blocking for 1 h in 5% nonfat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline. After applying the proper peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody to the membrane, as directed by the manufacturer, the immunoreactive proteins were found using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit from Amersham Biosciences Inc., Piscataway, NJ.
Cell Assay
The sodium 3′-[1-(phenylamino-carbonyl)-3,4-tetrazolium]-bis(4-methoxy-6-nitro)benzene-sulfonic acid hydrate (XTT) assay was used to determine how much asiatic acid inhibited cell proliferation. In 96-well culture plates, cells were plated at a density of 1 × 104 per well. The cells were exposed to asiatic acid (0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 μM) for 48 hours after a 24-hour incubation period. Each well was then filled with 50 microliters of the XTT test solution, which was created by combining 5 ml of the XTT-labeling reagent with 100 μl of the electron coupling reagent. At a test wavelength of 492 nm and a reference wavelength of 690 nm, absorbance was measured using an ELISA reader (Multiskan EX; Labsystem, Helsinki, Finland) after a 4-h incubation. The formula inhibition % = [100 - (ODt/ODs) × 100] was used to calculate data as the percentage of inhibition. The optical densities of the test substances and the solvent control were indicated, respectively, by ODt and ODs. Based on 48-h absorbance values, the concentration of test substances that cause 50% cellular cytotoxicity of cancer cells (IC50) was determined.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
