It showed antithrombin activity at 50 µg/ml in the amidolytic method. It also prolonged the clotting time in a dose-dependent manner in the clotting assay of thrombin-fibrinogen interaction. Key words 6-Pentadecylsalicylic acid - antithrombin - amidolytic method - clotting time - lanatebulic acid - Rhus semialata PDF (209 kb)
