Examines the effectiveness of Huangjing-Gegen in treating COPD, suggesting a role for the PI3K/AKT pathway.
decreased by 22.7%), alleviate pathology, and reduce inflammation through downregulating TNF-α (by 21.4%), IL-6 (by 30.7%), and IL-1β (by 29.3%) and suppressing the EGFR-PI3K/AKT pathway. Molecular docking provided supportive evidence for strong binding between absorbed puerarin derivatives and core targets. These findings suggest that the PI3K/AKT pathway may play a central role in the therapeutic effects of Huangjing-Gegen against COPD.
