Progress in the treatment of dementia with astragaloside

Astragaloside, as a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient, has received widespread attention for its application in dementia treatment. In this paper, we reviewed the neuroprotective effects of astragaloside in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, vascular dementia, and many other diseases related to cognitive function. It was shown that astragaloside effectively improved the cognitive dysfunction under these conditions through multiple mechanisms such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promotion of neuronal survival. In this paper, we hope that the summarization of the current domestic and international studies will help develop more effective treatment options for dementia and also provide new opportunities for the application of traditional Chinese medicine in modern medicine. With future research, the potential of astragaloside in the treatment of dementia will be more fully demonstrated, providing more therapeutic options for an aging society.
