<![CDATA[Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. is a medicinal plant known to contain a wide range of bioactive compounds with potential antioxidant properties. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant mechanisms of the major active constituents of Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. through a molecular docking approach targeting the NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase protein. The principal bioactive compounds of Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. were identified through an extensive literature review and phytochemical databases, followed by in silico analysis using molecular docking to evaluate their binding affinities and molecular interaction profiles with the target protein. The docking results revealed that curcumin exhibited the strongest binding affinity (-137.849), followed by asiatic acid (-56.3352) and madecassic acid (-30.1314). These findings provide preliminary insights into the pharmacological potential of Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. as a natural source of antioxidants from a modern computational perspective. Furthermore, this study offers a scientific basis for the development of phytopharmaceutical candidates and future investigations into target-based antioxidant mechanisms.]]>
