An intense effort has been focused on new therapeutic approaches and the development of technologies for more efficient and rapid wound healing. The research for plants used for long time in traditional medicine in the treatment of wound has become a promising strategy to obtain drugs therapeutically useful in the acute and chronic wound management. In this context, (Apiaceae) has been used to treat a variety of skin diseases, such as leprosy, lupus, varicose ulcers, eczema and psoriasis, in Asiatic traditional medicine for thousands of years. Studies have shown that extracts (CAE) display activity in tissue regeneration, cell migration and wound repair process by promoting fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. Preliminary findings have shown that the asiatic acid is one of the main active constituents of , directly associated with its healing activity. Thus, this study discusses aspects of the effects of and its active component, asiatic acid, in different stages of the healing process of cutaneous wounds, including phytochemical and antimicrobial aspects that contribute to its therapeutic potential.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how asiatic acid (AA) affects the drug resistance in human leukemia cells (K562/ADR) resistant to adriamycin (ADR).
- AA was found to reduce the resistance of these cells and enhance the effectiveness of ADR, as shown by various assays including CCK-8 and flow cytometry.
- The results indicated that AA down-regulates the expression of certain proteins related to drug resistance, suggesting a potential mechanism for reversing resistance in these cancer cells.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) is the major compoent of Gram-negative bacteria and an important factor in inducing inflammation, which usually leads to multiple organ failure in broilers, seriously affecting the growth performance of broilers and hindering the development of poultry farming. Under the policy of prohibiting antibiotics in feed, it has become more urgent to find natural drugs to prevent liver damage caused by LPS in broilers. Asiatic acid (AA) is a pentacyclic triterpene that has been proven to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Background: Wound healing relies on a controlled inflammatory process vital for tissue regeneration. Chronic wounds, characterized by persistent inflammation and high infection risk, pose significant challenges in healthcare. Hydrogel dressings offer promise in wound care; however, the understanding of their role in managing inflammation and infection remains unclear.
