Abstract

Methanol extract of Loranthus yadoriki showed the prolongation effect of bleeding time in vivo using mice in dose dependent manner. From the MeOH extract of Loranthus yadoriki, compound-A was isolated by the activity guided isolation method using silicagel column chromatography. The anti-coagulant activity was evaluated by the bleeding time test in vivo and plasma recalcification time test in vitro. Compound A showed moderate anti -coagulant activity on plasma recalcification time in vitro.
