Abstract

Medicinal plants are indispensable in both modern and traditional healthcare, offering a diverse array of bioactive compounds with therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. They provide accessible and affordable treatment options and play a crucial role in drug discovery, enhancing holistic health and promoting biodiversity conservation. Ongoing scientific research continues to validate and expand their applications in contemporary medicine, underscoring their enduring significance. Centella asiatica, a medicinal plant known for its therapeutic properties in traditional medicine and increasingly recognized in modern pharmacology for various health benefits.  Madecassoside, stands out as a phytoactive constituent of Centella asiatica, renowned for its wide-ranging pharmacological properties, encompassing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound-healing, and skin-protective effects. The present review illuminates madecassoside's pharmacological properties and its mechanistic roles, as documented by various researchers.
