The total extract of A. rugosa possessed significant procoagulant activity while acacetin and tilianin identified as the main components of A. rugosa had a significant anticoagulant activity in vitro. As a novel, effective and promising drug for the treatment of various coagulation disorders, A. rugosa may be beneficial for the individual with high risks of with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. Acacetin and tilianin were natural flavonoid compounds, whose plant origin was abundant and isolation and separation technique were simple and easy to operate.

Thus, we investigated the chemical composition and coagulation activity of A. rugosa and found that Ar.TE had a significant procoagulant activity, compared with Vitamin K1. Acacetin and tilianin had significant anticoagulant activity, as compared with the blank group. Further investigation should be pursued to find the effect of A. rugosa, acacetin and tilianin in vivo. Since the effects of acacetin and tilianin are different from those of A. rugosa, it should be noted that other active components in the extract remained to be further identified and characterized.

For instance, acacetin and ursolic acid were the main components in the Ar.Ea while tilianin was one of the main components in the Ar.Bu. The difference in main components might be due to following reasons: the compounds having a great effect might not be isolated or the remaining compounds could have a great effect on promoting coagulant, though their contents might be very low. The chemical components of plant medicines are complex, and the pharmacological effects can be the interactions of multi-components, multi targets together, either synergistically or antagonistically.
