Abstract
ToevaluatetheantithromboticandantiallergicpropertiesofrhaponticinextractedfromRhei
Rhizoma,theinvitroandexvivoinhibitoryactivitiesofrhaponticinanditsmetabolite,
rhapontigenin,weremeasured.ThesecompoundsinhibitedinvitroADPandcollageninduced
plateletaggregation.Rhapontigeninwasmorepotent,withIC50valuesof4and70microg/ml,
respectively.InexvivoADPandcollageninducedratplateletaggregation,thesecompounds
