In recent years, with the change of people's living standards and the increasingly serious aging phenomenon, the incidence of degenerative diseases of the central nervous system is increasing. Due to the unknown etiology, such diseases seriously affect the quality of life of patients and increase the economic burden of the society and patients' families. Therefore, finding a new drug to treat this kind of disease has become a research hotspot. Procyanidins (PCs) have antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and neuroprotective effects, suggesting that PCs have multi-target pharmacological effects. Because of this, PCs have attracted extensive attention as natural antioxidants and have been applied in the treatment of animal models of nervous system diseases. Based on the current status of research on the pharmacological effects of PCs by domestic and foreign scholars, this paper reviews the research progress in the role and mechanism of PCs in the prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases of central nervous system and puts forward the view that PCs may be related to the inhibition of iron death in the treatment of degenerative diseases of central nervous system.
