Background: The Qiji Shujiang granule (QJG) is a traditional Chinese drug widely used in treating PD patients. However, the potential mechanism of QJG in PD therapy is still unclear.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the neuroprotective effects of QJG and the specific mechanism by which QJG alleviates MPTP/Probenecid-induced pyroptosis and offers an alternative for PD treatment.

Intestinal microbiota was connected to Parkinson's Disease (PD) pathology. The ancient Chinese medication for PD is Compound Dihuang Granule (CDG), and we found a neuroprotective function in treating the constipation of PD patients. Nevertheless, the mechanism of action still needs to be clarified.

Paeoniflorin (PF) has numerous benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis effects. However, it is not clear if it has neuroprotective effects against cognitive impairment (CI) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Through network pharmacology, we identified probable targets as well as signal pathways through which PF might affect CI in PD.
