Centella asiatica is a very well known medicinal plant, widely used in the traditional medicine, pharmacy, and nutraceutical industry. Active constituents of this plant are triterpenes. Its main constituents, used nowadays as the markers for the assessment of the quality of drugs, are asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid. Centella asiatica occurs in Nepal and, if cultivated and harvested, might become a valuable resource. Thus, the major objective of this work was to determine the content of triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid in the plants growing at different altitudes by HPLC–DAD–ELSD.

Abstract
Centella asiatica is a very well known medicinal plant, widely used in the traditional medicine, pharmacy, and nutraceutical industry. Active constituents of this plant are triterpenes. Its main constituents, used nowadays as the markers for the assessment of the quality of drugs, are asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid. Centella asiatica occurs in Nepal and, if cultivated and harvested, might become a valuable resource. Thus, the major objective of this work was to determine the content of triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid in the plants growing at different altitudes by HPLC–DAD–ELSD.
