Abstract
Methanolic extracts of 25 species of Malaysian medicinal plants were screened for platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor binding activity using rabbit platelet. Extracts of Cinnamomum sintoc, Ixonanthes iconsandra, Paederia foetida, Piper aduncum, Premna integrifolia, Ardisia crispa, and Ardisia elliptica showed significant inhibitory effect on the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor binding.
