Kudiezi injection (KDZI), also known as Diemailing injection, is a traditional Chinese medicine injection of the composite plant Ixeris sonchifolia Hance (also known as Kudiezi), and has been widely used to treat coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and cerebral infarction, but its pharmacological mechanisms remain unclear. This study is designed to explore the effects of KDZI on middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) rats, and to identify metabolic features of cerebral ischemia reperfusion by using a nontargeted metabolic profiling method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS). In this process, 32 potential biomarkers were found in plasma. KDZI significantly upregulated the levels of taurochenodesoxycholic acid, leucine, l-phenylalanine, l-tryptophan, arachidonic acid (ARA), and phosphatidyl ethanolamines (PE), phosphatidyl cholines (PC) and downregulated the levels of l-valine and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) in plasma. The results indicated that the mechanisms of KDZI on MCAO/R were related to the mechanisms of amino acid and lipid metabolism.
