Enzymatic oxidation of pyrogallol was efficiently transformed to an oxidative product, purpurogallin (PPG). Here, the anticoagulant activities of PPG were examined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and the activities of thrombin and activated factor X (FXa). And, the effects of PPG on expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) were evaluated in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Treatment with PPG resulted in prolonged aPTT and PT and inhibition of the activities of thrombin and FXa, as well as inhibited production of thrombin and FXa in HUVECs. In addition, PPG inhibited thrombin-catalyzed fibrin polymerization and platelet aggregation. PPG also elicited anticoagulant effects in mice. In addition, treatment with PPG resulted in significant reduction of the PAI-1 to t-PA ratio. Collectively, PPG possesses antithrombotic activities and offers a basis for development of a novel anticoagulant.

식용 및 약용으로 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 산사자의 유용 생리활성 검토를 목적으로 산사자 추출물 및 분획물을 조제하여, 혈액내의 혈전 생성에 직접 관여하는 인간 트롬빈의 thrombin time(TT) 및 activated partial thromboplastin time(aPTT) 증가 활성을 측정하여 항혈전 활성을 평가하였다. 산사자의 항혈전 물질은 물 추출보다는 메탄을 추출이 적합하며(추출효율 40.4%), butanol 분획에서 가장 강력한 활성을 나타내었다. 산사자의 butanol 분획물은 1.25 mg/ml의 농도에서 835%의 TT 증가, 315%의 aPTT 증가를 보여 아스피린보다 2.9배 이상의 강력한 항혈전 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 항혈전 활성은 기존의 보고된 quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin 및 rutin과는 무관하였다. 또한 산사자의 활성물질은 0.5 N HCl 처리시 120분 이상 안정하였으나, $100^{\circ}C$, 30분 열처리에는 85% 이상의 활성소실이 나타나 열에 매우 민감한 물질로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는, 비열 처리와 적합한 가공 공정이 가능하다면 산사자 추출물이 혈액순환 장해 및 혈관계 질환 예방 및 치료제로 개발 가능함을 제시하고 있다.

한약재의 재료로 사용되는 옥발에서 항응고물질(anticoagulant)을 추출하여 정제하였다. 정제된 항응고물질의 분자량은 135 kDa으로 측정되었고 옥발로부터 정제된 항응고물질의 회수율은 11%이고, 24배 농축되었다. 옥발의 항응고물질은 열에 안정하고 비특이적 단백질 가수분해 효소 처리 후에도 활성을 유지하였으나, periodate 산화 처리시 현저하게 활성이 소실되어 항응고물질의 성분은 당류인 것으로 추정된다. 옥발의 항응고물질을 thin layer chromatography(TLC)와 Bio-LC로 구성당을 분석한 결과 galactose, glucose, mannose, glucosamine, galactosamine, fucose로 구성되어있고, IR을 통하여 확인된 OH, N-H bond가 확인되어 항응고물질이 중성당과 아미노당으로 구성된 것을 뒷받침해주고 있다. 옥발의 항응고물질은 thrombin time(TT)에 가장 민감하고, TT에서 항응고 활성을 2배, 3배 지연시키는 농도는 60 nM와 88 nM이었다. Prothrombin time(PT)에도 민감하였지만, snake venom activity와 activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)의 clotting activity에는 상대적으로 별 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 옥발의 항응고물질을 정제된 fibrinogen을 이용하여 thrombin과의 반응 시 fibrinogen의 농도가 증가함에 따라 응고 저해 정도가 감소하여 thrombin에 대해fibrinogen과 결합자리를 경쟁하고, 이 때 Ki 값은 23 nM이다.

Oleanolic acid (OA), a triterpenoid known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, is commonly present in several medicinal plants but its anticoagulant activities have not been studied. Here, the anticoagulant properties of OA were determined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrin polymerization as well as cell-based thrombin and activated factor X (FXa) generation activities. Data showed OA prolonged aPTT and PT significantly and inhibited thrombin catalyzed fibrin polymerization. In addition, OA inhibited the activities of thrombin and FXa and inhibited the generation of thrombin or FXa in human endothelial cells. OA also inhibited TNF-${\alpha}$-induced tissue factor expression on human endothelial cells. In accordance with these anticoagulant activities, OA showed an anticoagulant effect in vivo. These results indicate that OA possesses antithrombotic activities and suggest that daily consumption of a herb containing OA may be preventing thrombosis in pathological states.

Geranium (Pelargonium inquinans Ait) leaves were extracted with $80\%$ MeOH, and partitioned into n-hexane, ethyl acetate, BuOH and $H_2O$ to isolate the anticoagulant principles. The EtOAc fraction was found to be the most active, and was further purified using silica and octadecylisilane column chromatography employing a bioassay-guided fractionation method. The active compound was isolated and identified as $1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl-\beta-D-glucopyranose$(PGG) (compound I). The isolated anticoagulant significantly prolonged the activated partial thrombin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT) using normal human plasma. One microgram of $1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl-\beta-D-glucopyranose$ showed 0.063 heparin units in the APTT and 2.73 heparin units in the TT for anti-thrombosis. This is the first report of the isolation of PGG from geranium plants.

To develop safe and new anticoagulation agents from natural resources, the inhibitory activities of 291 methanol extracts, which were prepared from different parts of 197 medicinal and wild plants, against human thrombin were evaluated. Based in anti-coagulation activity determined by thrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time, the extract of leaf of Myrica rubra was finally selected. The extract of M. rubra showed a strong thrombin inhibitory activity (above 1,819%) at 0.5 mg/ml as a final concentration, whereas aspirin showed 337% inhibition at concentration of 1.5 mg/ml. The activity of the extract remained more than 85% and 60% by heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30min, and acid treatment at pH 2 for 60 min, respectively. Our results suggested that the extract of Myrica rubra could be the potential source as thrombin inhibitor.

This study was investigated to find the effects of petroleum ether extract (Lipophilic fraction) from Korean red ginseng on platelet aggregation and thrombin time of the plasma in two groups of the experimental rats. One group of rats were fed with 15% corn oil (15%kg-diet) containing a number of 18 : 2 (linoleic acid) or 15% beef-tallow (15%/kg-diet) containing saturated fatty acids for 3 weeks, and were followed by feeding the petroleum ether extract (25 mg/kg-diet) for 3 weeks. The other group of rats (control group) were fed with 15% corn oil or 15% beef-tallow for 6 weeks. The platelet aggregation induced by thrombin and collagen was significantly inhibited and the thrombin time was prolonged in the 15% corn oil plus petroleum ether extract administrated group than in the 15% corn oil administrated group. And the same results were shown in the 15% beef-tallow plus petroleum ether extract administrated group. These results suggest that the petroleum ether extract from Korean red ginseng may have the beneficial effects on the inhibition of the platelet aggregation and the inhibition of blood coagulation induced by dietary fats.

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate a potential of platelet concentrate obtained from blood bank(PCBB) in accelerating wound healing and to determine an effective treatment protocol by quantifying levels of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB in PCBB in vitro. Methods: The first study was designed to investigate quantity of PDGF-BB over stored time of the PCBB. The stored times for each PCBB were 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 days. The second study was designed to determine efficacy of adding thrombin to stimulate release of PDGF-BB from the platelets of PCBB. The platelets were suspended and incubated in either with or without thrombin. On 30 minutes and days 1, 3, 5, 7 after incubation, the levels of PDGF-BB were measured. Results: PDGF-BB level showed a linear decrease over stored time of PCBB from the first day to the 13th day. Addition of thrombin increased PDGF-BB release from 30 minute through the 5th day. Conclusion: The results indicate that PCBB can provide sufficient amount of growth factors to stimulate wound healing and adding thrombin accelerate it.

목이버섯으로부터 항혈전활성과 항혈소판응집활성을 지니는 물질을 추출하여 추출물의 혈행개선활성을 조사하였다. 건조 목이버섯을 0.1 N NaOH, methanol, ethanol 등의 용매를 사용하여 추출하여 각 추출물의 항혈전활성을 activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time과 prothrombin time 값으로 측정한 결과 methanol 용해성 분획이 각각 100, 124, 54 s로 조사한 분획 중에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 활성 분획을 DEAE-Sepharose CL6B ion exchange column chromatography와 Sephacryl 400-HR gel permeation column chromatography로 정제하였으며 활성물질은 분자량이 150 kDa 이상인 다당류이며 mannose가 주요 구성당으로 되어 있는 xyloglucomannan의 복합다당체인 것으로 확인되었다. 정제된 다당류의 항혈전활성은 thrombin 활성을 저해하기 때문인 것으로 해석되었다.

Curcumin, a polyphenol responsible for the yellow color of the curry spice turmeric, possesses antiinflammatory, antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. However, anticoagulant activities of curcumin have not been studied. Here, the anticoagulant properties of curcumin and its derivative (bisdemethoxycurcumin, BDMC) were determined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT) as well as cell-based thrombin and activated factor X (FXa) generation activities. Data showed that curcumin and BDMC prolonged aPTT and PT significantly and inhibited thrombin and FXa activities. They inhibited the generation of thrombin or FXa. In accordance with these anticoagulant activities, curcumin and BDMC showed anticoagulant effect in vivo. Surprisingly, these anticoagulant effects of curcumin were better than those of BDMC indicating that methoxy group in curcumin positively regulated anticoagulant function of curcumin. Therefore, these results suggest that curcumin and BDMC possess antithrombotic activities and daily consumption of the curry spice turmeric might help maintain anticoagulant status.
