Abstract

Methanolic extracts of ninety-five medicinal plants were screened for platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor binding inhibitory activity using rabbit platelet. Alpinia officinarum, Belamcanda chinensis, Leonurus heterophyllus, Pinus densiflora, Polygonatum sibiricum and Sambucus williamsii showed significant inhibitory effects on the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor binding.
