Inhibitory effect of asiatic acid on acetylcholinesterase, excitatory post synapticpotential and locomotor activity

The asiatic acid, a triterpenoids isolated from Centella asiatica was used to delineate its inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) properties, excitatory post synaptic potential (EPSP) and locomotor activity. This study is consistent with asiatic acid having an effect on AChE, a selective GABAB receptor agonist and no sedative effect on locomotor.
