MAPK3 and Alzheimer disease: Combining animal pharmacodynamic experiments with network pharmacology analysis, we confirmed the importance of inflammation in pathogenesis of AD, clarified the pharmacodynamic characteristics of QZZD in treating AD, and proved its neuroprotective effects through the regulation of TNFR1-ERK1/2-NF-κBp65 signaling pathway, which might provide reference for studies on treatment of AD in the future.
