  • Title: [An anticoagulant from extracts of peony roots: its isolation and properties].
    Author: Liapina LA, Novikov VS, Pastorova VE, Uspenskaia MS, Smolina TIu, Liapin GIu.
    Journal: Izv Akad Nauk Ser Biol; 1995; (2):249-51. PubMed ID: 7735037.
    Abstract:
    A protein-free anticoagulant preparation displaying anticoagulative but not fibrinolytic activity in vitro was isolated from peony. Electrophoretic, chromatographic, and spectral analyses revealed that this anticoagulant resembles animal heparin: it contains sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen in quantities characteristic of the latter. Plant heparin enhances anticoagulative and fibrinolytic plasma properties and decreases platelet aggregation. It may be used as a harmless and ecologically pure anticoagulant.
