Antioxidant and acetylcholine esterase inhibition activity of the extract from Centella asiatica obtained by Ultrasound pre-treatment followed by Microwave-assisted extraction method

The extraction of compounds from Centella asiatica a member the family Apiaceae by adopting Ultrasound assisted Extraction (UAE), Microwave (MAE) and pre-treatment followed Microwave-assisted were reported. yield extract, phenol content, antioxidant activity Acetylcholine esterase found to be more in extract obtained method. is 30.8% UAE MAE methods. content 1289 ± 0.57 μg GAE/mL which 27% higher than method 46% HPLC analysis showed that C. comprised Madecassoside major quantity madecassic acid, asiatic acid asiaticoside. In DPPH assay AChE inhibitory effect IC50, value for pre-treated 38.24 mL−1 26.7±0.49 mg/mL respectively are substantially other two So, preferable get desired asiatica.
