    Main Results:

    • Astragalus mongholicus polysaccharide (APS) boosts antibody formation and nucleic acid/protein synthesis.
    • Achyranthes bidentata AbPS enhances humoral immunity, antagonizes cyclosporin A, increases TNF and NK cell activity, and improves quality of life in tumor patients.
    • Coriolus versicolor PSP exhibits anticancer properties by promoting T cell proliferation, NK/LAK activity, and cytokine production, leading to tumor cell apoptosis.
    • Celastrol demonstrates potent immunosuppressive and anti-free radical activity.
    • Ginkgo biloba extract improves cognitive function and reduces inflammation in neurodegenerative models.

    Conclusions:

    • Components from Chinese herbal medicines possess significant immunomodulatory and therapeutic potential.
    • These natural compounds offer promising avenues for developing treatments for immune deficiencies, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.
