Qingyi decoction and its active ingredients ameliorate acute pancreatitis by regulating acinar cells and macrophages via NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathways

The results of network pharmacology indicate that QYD can inhibit AP through multiple pathways and targets. This finding was validated through in vivo tests, which demonstrated that QYD can reduce AP by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasomes, additionally, it should be noted that 12mg/kg was a relatively superior dose. One of the main chemical compositions Wogonoside regulated NLRP3 inflammasome activation to protect against AP. This study is the first to verify the intrinsic molecular mechanism of QYD in treating AP by combining network pharmacology and animal experiments. The findings can provide evidence for subsequent clinical research and drug development.
