Platelets play pivotal role in primary hemostasis and several cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in atherothrombotic disease and are associated with an increase in blood platelets aggregation. Rubia tinctorum (RT) extracts was investigated for anti-aggregant activity induced by collagen in vitro and ex vivo by measuring the bleeding time and platelets count. Our finding demonstrated that RT extract showed a significant (P<0.001) inhibition of collagen induced platelets aggregation (1.48±0.76, n=3). This results correlate well with data of bleeding time and platelet count. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids which may be implicated in this action.
