Objective:To compare the anti-thrombin activity and the effects on the coagulation pathway between Whitmania pigra Whitman and Hirudinaria manillensis to provide scientific reference for the anticoagulation mechanism revelation for Hirudo. Methods:Anti-thrombin titration and chromogenic substrate assay-extraction-HPLC were applied to study the anti-thrombin activity of Whitmania pigra Whitman and Hirudinaria manillensis. APTT, PT and TT were determined by a clotting assay to compare the effects on the path-way of blood clotting. Results:The anticoagulation activity order measured by anti-thrombin titration was living Hirudinaria manillensis> dried Hirudinaria manillensis > > dried Whitmania pigra Whitman. The results of chromogenic substrate assay-extraction-HPLC in-dicated that the low dose of aqueous extract promoted the thrombin activity, while the high dose inhibited the thrombin activity. Hirudi-naria manillensis significantly inhibited the activity of thrombin, while Whitmania pigra Whitman showed weak anti-thrombin activity only at the higher dose. All leeches could prolong APTT, PT and TT. However, living Hirudinaria manillensis mainly affected TT, and dried Hirudinaria manillensis mainly affected APTT. Dried Whitmania pigra Whitman dramatically influenced APTT and TT. All the results indicated that the anticoagulant activity of Whitmania pigra Whitmanis was significantly higher than that of Hirudinaria manillen-sis. Conclusion:There are notable differences in the anti-thrombin activity and the effect on the pathway of blood clotting between Whitmania pigra Whitman and Hirudinaria manillensis.
