Biosynthesis and bioactivities of triterpenoids from Centella asiatica: Challenges and opportunities
Abstract
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban is an herbaceous perennial plant that has long been widely used in traditional medicine, due to its diverse wound-healing, neuroprotection, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The major functional bioactive secondary metabolites are the triterpenoids asiatic acid, madecassic acid, asiaticoside and madecassoside, collectively known as centellosides. Current extraction methods for C. asiatica are unable to meet market demand for extracts and pure functional components. Biotechnological approaches based on synthetic biology and microbial cell factories are a promising alternative. This review summarises the major secondary metabolites and their biological activities, and the biosynthetic pathway of functional triterpenoids in C. asiatica. Biotechnological production of centellosides is also described, including in vitro plant cultures and construction of microbial cell factories. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives for sustainable production of centellosides are discussed, and guidelines for future engineering are proposed.

There is a relative lack of high-quality trials employing objective, non-invasive skin measurement techniques to comprehensively assess wrinkles, hydration, barrier function, and elasticity following oral intake of Centella asiatica extract.
“Moreover, there is a relative lack of high-quality trials employing objective, non-invasive skin measurement techniques to comprehensively assess wrinkles, hydration, barrier function, and elasticity following oral intake of Centella asiatica extract [33,34].”
The observed improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle parameters may be associated with the biological activities of Centella asiatica-derived triterpenoids.
“The observed improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle parameters may be associated with the biological activities of Centella asiatica-derived triterpenoids, as reported in previous studies [16,19,33].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
