Dengzhan Shengmai capsules and their active component scutellarin prevent cognitive decline in APP/PS1 mice by accelerating A β aggregation and reducing oligomers formation.

In conclusion, DZSM capsules protected against cognitive defects of AD through scutellarin-mediated acceleration of Aβ aggregation into fibrils or protofibrils and reduction of soluble Aβ oligomers, thus suggesting potential clinical applications of DZSM capsules and scutellarin in the treatment of AD.
