Potential mechanism of action of Ixeris sonchifolia extract injection against cardiovascular diseases revealed by combination of HPLC-Q-TOF-MS, virtual screening and systems pharmacology approach.

ABSTRACT: Ixeris sonchifolia extract injection, a Chinese medicine preparation named as Kudiezi injection (KDZI) in China, has been widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in recent years. Owing to the component complexity of the preparation, the study on the effect mechanism of the herbal medicine against CVDs is a big challenge. In this research, HPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to analyze the constituents of the preparation, disclosing that the KDZI mainly consists of 10 ingredients, namely 3-caffeoylquinic acid (KDZI-1), 4-caffeoylquinic acid (KDZI-2), 5-caffeoylquinic acid (KDZI-3), apigenin-7-O-β-d-glucuronide (KDZI-4), caffeic acid (KDZI-5), chicoric acid (KDZI-6), caftaric acid (KDZI-7), luteolin-7-O-β-d-gentiobioside (KDZI-8), luteolin-7-O-β-d-gluco
