An Overview of Medicinal Plants as Potential Anti-Platelet Agents
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Anti-platelet agents are those that decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit thrombus formation. Anti-platelet drugs are used to prevent and help in the reversal of platelet aggregation in arterial thrombosis which is the principal reason in the pathology of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke. Currently many synthetic and semi-synthetic formulations are available in the markets which are potent anti-platelet agents but they have significant adverse effects. Herbs have been always an ideal source of drugs and numerous of the presently available drugs have been obtained directly or indirectly from them. In this article, authors made an extensive literature study about the work carried out on herbs with anti-platelet activity and their bioactive constituent. Here, an attempt was made to elaborate the isolated constituents from plant origin, which showed promising activity as anti-platelet agent.
