        Polygonum bistorta contains phytochemical compounds that can affect coagulation. It is used as hemorrhoid for bleeding control in traditional medicine. For its in vivo evaluation, 35 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 7) as well as the negative and positive control. On the 13th day of treatment, blood samples were collected for bleeding time (BT), clotting time (CT) and the number of platelets and on the 14th day, for prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The results were shown although P. bistorta extract had a significant reducing effect on all coagulation tests in a dose-dependent manner, the greatest reduction in coagulation time (16.5 times) in the CT test and the best significant dosage is 1000 mg/kg/day shows that the P. bistorta extract has a greater effect on the common pathway than intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.

        The aerial parts of Ferula ovina (Boiss.) Boiss. were extracted by methanol and then fractionated with solvents with different polarity. The evaluation of the bioactivity of the plant extracts including antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity was carried out using various assays. The phenolic and flavonoid compound profile of the extract were established using HPLC analysis. The leaves showed the highest total phenolic content and radical scavenging activity; the flowers had the maximum amount of total flavonoid content, and the stems exhibited the maximum ferrous ion chelating ability. Among ten microorganisms, the plant extract prevented the growth of three strains, namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Streptococcus pneumonia. The flower of F. ovina (Boiss.) Boiss shows the best anti-human cervical carcinoma property against HeLa cell lines. Gallic acid was found as the major phenolic compound in the plant extract according to the HPLC analysis.

        Thymus vulgaris and Mediacgo sativa, are used as a traditional remedy in the treatment of bleeding disorders. Considering their probabilistic coagulation compounds, in an animal study, forty male mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8) as well as negative and positive control. Coagulation indices include bleeding time (BT), clotting time (CT), and the number of platelets (PLT) were examined on the 13th day of treatment. A significant reduction in the BT and CT tests, as well as a significant increase in PLT in the treated groups was observed. It is concluded that although the T. vulgaris and M. sativa extracts have a coagulation effect through primary homeostasis and a common pathway of secondary hemostasis, combined extracts are more effective than individual extracts. Moreover, phenolic and flavonoid compounds are the most affecting compounds that affect platelet number and aggregation. Manuscript profile
