Background: Interest in natural compounds as sources of potentially new treatment options is growing rapidly. Preliminary screening of many different plant extracts showed that Wrightia tinctoria acts as a potent human platelet aggregation inhibitor. The aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize the active compound responsible for potent inhibition of human platelet aggregation in vitro.
Methods: A 70% ethanolic extract derived from W. tinctoria seeds was fractionated with chloroform followed by ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate fraction was further fractionated and purified through a series of three successive column chromatographic separations using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and C-18 columns. Liquid chromatography coupled to negative electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies were performed in the structure determination of the active phenolic compound present in the ethyl acetate fraction of W. tinctoria seeds.
Results: A phenolic compound has been isolated and identified as chlorogenic acid by LC-MS/MS and NMR studies. Chlorogenic acid showed concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on collagen-induced platelet aggregation in vitro with an IC50 of 0.2363 μg/μl.
Conclusion: The present data suggest that chlorogenic acid can be developed as potential antiplatelet agent in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in diabetes mellitus.

Background: This study aimed to compare the incidence of bleeding using two periodontal treatment protocols in patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
Material And Methods: This is an interim analysis of a double-blind controlled clinical trial evaluating two periodontal treatment schemes in patients with recent ACS treated with different dual antiplatelet regimens: Clopidogrel+ASA, Prasugrel+ASA and Ticagrelor+ASA. After randomisation six patients (22 quadrants) were treated with Scheme A (scaling and root planning-SRP) and six patients (21 quadrants) with Scheme B (ultrasonic scaling-US).

Introduction: Platelet transfusion has been therapeutically used in patients with thrombocytopenia and platelet function defects over the years. The use of advanced techniques may add value in assessing the quality of platelet products. The aim of the study was to assess stored platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared in blood banks for platelet indices, clot strength, and platelet function.

In neurovascular settings, including treatment and prevention of ischemic stroke and prevention of thromboembolic complications after percutaneous neurointerventional procedures, dual antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor and aspirin is the standard of care. Clopidogrel remains the most commonly prescribed P2Y12 inhibitor for neurovascular indications. However, patients carrying CYP2C19 no-function alleles have diminished capacity for inhibition of platelet reactivity due to reduced formation of clopidogrel's active metabolite.

Circulating histones have been identified as essential mediators that lead to hyperinflammation, platelet aggregation, coagulation cascade activation, endothelial cell injury, multiple organ dysfunction, and death in severe patients with sepsis, multiple trauma, COVID-19, acute liver failure, and pancreatitis. Clinical evidence suggests that plasma levels of circulating histones are positively associated with disease severity and survival in patients with such critical diseases. However, safe and efficient therapeutic strategies targeting circulating histones are lacking in current clinical practice.
