Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Madecassoside (10, 30, 100 μmol/L) could reverse morphological changes, elevate cell viability, increase glutathione levels, and decrease lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde levels caused by H₂O₂ in a concentration-dependent manner. It attenuates apoptosis, preventing the activation of caspase-3 and the loss of mitochondria membrane potential, as well as the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) in HUVECs. Hence, this compound could protect HUVECs against lipid peroxidation and apoptosis caused by H₂O₂.
In vivo
The pharmacokinetic study of madecassoside in rats indicates that the maximum plasma concentration is 303.75 ± 28.53 ng/mL after single oral administration (100 mg/kg). This compound, administered orally for 20 days at doses of 6, 12, and 24 mg/kg, effectively facilitates burn wound healing in mice. It could reduce the burn wound area, leading to a better healing pattern with almost complete wound closure in mice. This chemical has potent anti-pulmonary fibrosis (PF) effects when administered p.o., despite having extremely low oral bioavailability. The potent anti-PF effects induced by p.o. this compound in mice are not mediated by its metabolites or itself after absorption into blood. i.p. this chemical has no anti-PF effect. It increases the activity of PPAR-γ, which subsequently increases HGF expression in colonic epithelial cells. HGF then enters into the circulation and lung tissue to exert an anti-PF effect.
