Abstract:
Object To investigate the effects of Angelica polysaccharide (AP 0) and its sulfates (APS) on blood coagulation and platelet aggregation. Methods Infrared turbidimetric method was used to estimate platelet aggregation, prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time (TT), actiated partial thromboplastin time (APTT); bleeding time (BT) was measured by cutting the mouse's tail and coagulate time (CT) was measured by glass method sheet; hemorheology was measured with heparin as anticoagulant.Results The AP 0 and APS prominently enhanced the platelet aggregation at 5 min (PAG ), while showed less effects on the maximum platelet aggregation (PAG ); they, especially APS 1, also markedly prolonged CT but shortened BT, both AP 0 and APS 1 significantly prolonged TT and APTT in all experimental dosage, while only APS 1 in high dosage (8.46 mg/kg) significantly prolonged PT; AP 0 increased the aggregation index (AI) of RBC and the whole blood viscosity (? b) at shear rate of 5 s -1 at a dose of 2.00 mg/kg, however, unlike AP 0, APS 1 decreased AI and ? b at shear rate of 5 s -1 and 230 s -1 . Conclusion These results suggest that AP 0 and APSs have potent anticoagulant and haemostasis effects. The haemostasis effect is related to promoted platelet aggregation. Ameliorative effect of Angelica polysaccharide sulfate on hemorheology is better than that of Angelica polysaccharide itself.
