The effects of ginsenosides purified from red ginseng on platelet aggregation were investigated. Preincubation of washed platelets from rats with either ginsenoside Rg3, ginsenosides non-polar fraction (G-NPF), ginsenoside Rg1(Rg1) or ginsenosides polar fraction(G-PF) reduced the plytelet aggrelation induced by collagen in a dose-dependent manner, whereas ginsenoside Rg2 failed to inhibit the aggregation. Their IC50 values of Rg3, G-NPF, Rgl, and G-PF were 8.7$\pm$1.0, 150.3$\pm$0.1, 369.9$\pm$ 1.0, 606.211.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. Aggrelation induced by thrombin was also inhibited by Rg3 and G-NPF with IC50 being 5.2$\pm$ 1.1 and 66.5$\pm$0.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. The alterations of Intracellular Ca2+ concentration in platelets were monitored using fura-2 as a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. Both Ca2+ release from internal stores and Ca2+ influx into cytosol were suppressed by Rg3. Rg3 also inhibited granular release of ATP and TXA2 formation induced by thrombin in a dose-dependent manner in the washed platelets. Rg3 also inhibited Aggregation and ATP release from human platelets induced by collagen to a similar extent as were observed in rat platelets. In conclusion, Rg3 is a Potent anti-aggregating component in ginsenosides and may exert its anti-aggrega1ing activity by decreasing TXAa formation and granular secretion in platelets, most likely by inhibiting Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. Thus ginseng may contribute to the prevention and treatment of thrombosis.

The increased potential for vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth is a key abnormality in the development of atherosclerosis and post-angioplasty restenosis. Abnormally high activity of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is believed to play a central role in the etiology of these pathophysiological situations. Here, we investigated the anti-proliferative effects and possible mechanism(s) of murrayafoline A, a carbazole alkaloid isolated from Glycosmis stenocarpa Guillamin (Rutaceae), on PDGF-BB-stimulated VSMCs. Murrayafoline A inhibited the PDGF-BB-stimulated proliferation of VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner, as measured using a non-radioactive colorimetric WST-1 assay and direct cell counting. Furthermore, murrayafoline A suppressed the PDGF-BB-stimulated progression through $G_0/G_1$ to S phase of the cell cycle, as measured by [$^3H$]-thymidine incorporation assay and cell cycle progression analysis. This anti-proliferative action of murrayafoline A, arresting cell cycle progression at $G_0/G_1$ phase in PDGF-BB-stimulated VSMCs, was mediated via down-regulation of the expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)2, CDK4, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (pRb). These results indicate that murrayafoline A may be useful in preventing the progression of vascular complications such as restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and atherosclerosis.

Various flavonoid derivatives were previously reported to possess the inhibitory activity on cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase. And these properties of flavonoids might contribute to their anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. In this study, several polyhydroxylated/methoxylated flavonoid derivatives such as oroxylin A. wogonin, skullcapflavone II, tectorigenin and iristectorigenin A were isolated from the medicinal plants. these compounds were evaluated fro their inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase/lipoxygenase from the homogenate of human platelets in vitro. It was found that isoflavones including daidzein and tectorigenin possessed the inhibitory activity on cycloooxygenase, although the potency of inhibition was far less than that of indomethacin. In addition, oroxylin A, baicalein and wogonin inhibited 12-lipoxygenase activity without affecting cyclooxygenase, which suggested that 5,6,7- or 5,7,8-trisubstitutions of A-ring of flavone gave favorable results. The IC50 values of oroxylin A and NDGA against 12-lipoxygenase were found to be 100 and 1.5 uM, respectively.

Ginseng, the root of Panax ginseng Meyer, has been used frequently in traditional oriental medicine and is popular globally. Ginsenosides, which are the saponins in ginseng, are the major components having pharmacological and biological activities, including anti-diabetic and anti-tumor activities. In this study, we investigated the effects of total saponin from Korean red ginseng(TSKRG) on thrombin-produced thromboxane $A_2$ ($TXA_2$), an aggregating thrombogenic molecule, and its associated microsomal enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and $TXA_2$ synthase (TXAS). Thrombin (0.5 U/mL) increased $TXA_2$ production up to 169 ng/$10^8$ platelets as compared with control (0.2 ng/$10^8$ platelets). However, TSKRG inhibited potently $TXA_2$ production to the control level in a dose-dependent manner, which was associated with the strong inhibition of COX-1 and TXAS activities in platelet microsomes having cytochrome c reductase activity. The results demonstrate TSKRG is a beneficial traditional oriental medicine in platelet-mediated thrombotic diseases via suppression of COX-1 and TXAS to inhibit production of $TXA_2$.

Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) is an adenosine analog, isolated from Cordyceps militaris, and it has been used as an anticancer and anti-inflammation ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. We investigated the effects of cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) on human platelet aggregation, which was induced by thapsigargin, a tumor promoter, and determined the cytosolic free $Ca^{2+}$ levels ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) (an aggregation-stimulating molecule) and cyclic-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) (an aggregation-inhibiting molecule). Cordycepin inhibited thapsigargin-induced platelet aggregation in a dose-dependent manner, and it clearly reduced the levels of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, which was increased by thapsigargin ($1\;{\mu}M$) or U46619 ($3\;{\mu}M$). Cordycepin also increased the thapsigargin-reduced cGMP levels. Accordingly, our data demonstrated that cordycepin may have a beneficial effect on platelet aggregation-mediated thrombotic diseases through the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$-regulating system such as cGMP.

혈소판 응집의 조절은 정상적인 지혈을 유지하는 데 중요하지만 비정상적이거나 과도한 혈소판 응집은 뇌졸중, 죽상동맥 경화증 및 혈전증과 같은 심혈관 질환에 기여할 수 있다. 따라서 혈소판 응집을 제어하거나 억제할 수 있는 물질을 식별하는 것은 이러한 상태의 예방 및 치료를 위한 유망한 접근 방식이다. Artemisia 또는 Scopolia 속 식물에서 추출한 artemisinin은 항암 및 알츠하이머병 연구와 같은 다양한 분야에서 가능성을 보여주었다. 그러나 artemisinin이 혈소판 활성화 및 혈전 형성에 영향을 미치는 구체적인 역할과 메커니즘은 아직 완전히 밝혀지지 않았다. 이 연구는 혈소판 활성화 및 혈전 형성에 대한 artemisinin의 효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과, cAMP 생성과 cAMP 의존성 kinase에 대한 기질인 VASP 및 IP₃R의 인산화가 artemisinin에 의해 유의미하게 증가되었다. IP₃R의 인산화는 조밀한 관형 시스템에서 정상적으로 동원되는 Ca²⁺를 억제하였고, VASP의 인산화는 αIIb/β₃ 혈소판 막 불활성화를 통한 fibrinogen 결합을 억제하였다. 마지막으로, artemisinin은 thrombin이 유발하는 혈전 형성을 농도의존적으로 억제하였다. 따라서 우리는 artemisinin이 혈소판 활성화의 효과적인 예방 및 치료제로 작용하여 비정상적인 혈소판 응집 및 혈전 형성으로 인해 유발되는 심혈관 질환의 개선에 기여할 수 있음을 제안한다.

To search of more selective vasculogenic relaxation activity, the antioxidant activity of silkworm male pupae was determined by measuring its radical scavenging effect on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, and anticoagulant activity of them was measured clotting time in both activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Because, most of cGMP-enhancing agent such as, sildenafil, promotes thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, developed unexplained thrombic conditions including heart attack. To search more suitable and safe drug for vasculogenic relaxation, we purified silkworm pupae male extract. The ethyl acetate extract of silkworm male pupae showed strong scavenging activity in both DPPH and aPTT anticoagulant activity. The antioxidant activity potential of the individual fraction was in order of ethyl acetate > n-butanol > chloroform > n-hexane. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction exhibiting strong anti-oxidant and anticoagulant activity was further purified by repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Cholesterol was isolated as one of the active principles from ethyl acetate fraction, together with, minor portion, ${\beta}-sitosterol$.
