  • Published : 2003.10.01

Abstract

Asiaticoside, a biologically active triterpenoid present in Centella asicatica, has been known to exert a variety of biological effect such as wound-healing, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory. In this study, we observed the effect of asiatic acid asiaticoside and its 16 derivatives on the cytotoxicity and the content of hydroxyproline in rat hepatic stellate cell line, HSC-T6 cell as a preliminary study for screening the anti-hepatofibrotic effect.(omitted)
