Abstract To investigate molecular mechanism of Guhong injection against rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) was adopted to evaluate the protection of Guhong injection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, and a network pharmacology approach was applied to investigate molecular mechanism of Guhong injection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Guhong injection demonstrated effective protectionagainst cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was demonstrated. Based on the network pharmacology analysis, 131 compounds such as canthaxanthin A, γ-aminobutyric acid, regulated 12 functional pathways like amino acid metabolism, calcium signaling pathway, and had an effect on 64 key targets such as AGT, IL8 which was related with the Guhong injection-mediated protection. In this study, the network pharmacological analysis of Guhong-mediated protection provides potential clues for further research on the material basis and molecular mechanism.
