Studies on Active Substances in the Herbs Used for Oketsu ("Stagnant Blood") in Chinese Medicine. II. On the Anticoagulative Principle in Persicae Semen

Abstract

The anticoagulative principle in Persicae Semen was investigated. In the isolation process, plasma recalcification time in mice was used for the pharmacological measurement of anticoagulative activity of the material. The active principle was isolated by a combination of partition and column chromatography on silica gel, and identified as triolein.
