The water extract of Populus sieboldii MIQUEL (Salicaceae) inhibited arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation. Pyrocatechol and salicyl alcohol were isolated as active constituents. Pyrocatechol showed an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid with IC100 value of 4μM, which was 25 times more potent than aspirin.
