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.

The acute toxicity test of tilianin had not been done yet and there was no report about its toxicity. Therefore, both acacetin and tilianin may have a good pharmaceutical prospect. Being cheap, safe and effective, they are in line with the requirements of today’s market fort anti-thrombotic drugs. Of course, the mechanism underlying their anti-coagulation activity need to be further investigated.
