Abstract

Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) is a widely used herbal plant with various biological properties. Our previous study using in vitro platelet aggregation in whole blood showed that ethyl acetate layer of RVS had strong anti-aggregatory activity. In this study. to investigate the anti-aggregatory activity and antioxidative effects of RVS ethyl acetate layer. the layer was subsequently fractionated by ODS columm chromatograph (50% MeOH). As a result. the fraction 3 was most inhibited the aggregation of platelet in rat whole blood induced by thrombin and all fraction of RVS was detected strong antioxidative effect. (omitted)
