Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional antithrombotic therapy has reported hemorrhagic accidents. Ethnobotanical and scientific reports point to Cnidoscolus aconitifolius as an antithrombotic adjuvant. Previously, C. aconitifolius leaves ethanolic extract displayed antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic activities. This work aimed to identify compounds from C. aconitifolius with in vitro antithrombotic activity through a bioassay-guided study. Antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic tests guided the fractionation. Ethanolic extract was subjected to a liquid–liquid partitioning, followed by vacuum liquid, and size exclusion chromatography to obtain the bioactive JP10B fraction. The compounds were identified through UHPLC-QTOF-MS, and their molecular docking, bioavailability, and toxicological parameters were determined computationally. Kaempferol-3-O-glucorhamnoside and 15(S)-HPETE were identified; both showed affinity for antithrombotic targets, low absorption, and safety for human consumption. Further in vitro and in vivo evaluations will better understand their antithrombotic mechanism. This bioassay-guided fractionation demonstrated that C. aconitifolius ethanolic extract has antithrombotic compounds. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
