- Abstract
Sorbus commixta Hedlund (S. commixta) is known to possess cardiovascular protective activity. However, its effect on thrombosis has not been reported, although thrombosis plays a primary role in diverse circulatory diseases. Thus, this study was performed to assess the antithrombotic activity of dried S. commixta fruit extract. Mice were fed with a diet containing 8.3% extract for 4 weeks, which corresponded to the consumption of approximately 1000 mg extract/kg/day. The antithrombotic effect was tested in a FeCl3-induced arterial thrombosis model. Additionally, the effects on platelet aggregation and plasma coagulation were examined in vitro using washed platelets (WP) and isolated blood plasma, respectively. Thrombotic vascular occlusion time was significantly prolonged by the 4-week administration of the extract. Treatment of WP with the extract resulted in a decrease in thrombin-induced aggregation, which was concentration-dependent over 10 to 100 μg/mL and was not attributed to the direct inhibition of thrombin. The extract did not affect blood plasma coagulation, which was assessed by measuring prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. S. commixta is capable of preventing arterial thrombosis and such an effect may be attributed to the inhibition of platelet aggregation.
