Neuritogenic effect of standardized extract of Centella asiatica ECa233 on human neuroblastoma cells

Neuritogenic effect of standardized extract of Centella asiatica ECa233 on human neuroblastoma cells

BACKGROUND In order to gain insight into neuroprotective effects of ECa 233, a standardized extract of Centella asiatica, previously demonstrated in animal models of memory impairment induced by transient global ischemia or intracerebroventricular injection of β-amyloid, the effect of ECa 233 on neurite outgrowth of human IMR-32 neuroblastoma cell line was investigated. METHODS Cells were see...

Apoptosis induction of Centella asiatica on human breast cancer cells.

The present study evaluated the ability of methanolic extract of Centella asiatica (Linn) Urban (Umbelliferae) to induce apoptosis in different cancer cell lines. MCF-7 cells emerged as the most sensitive cell line for in vitro growth inhibitory activity. C. asiatica extract induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells as indicated by nuclear condensation, increased annexin staining, loss of mitochondrial ...
