Antithrombotics are the medicines that were used therapeutically for the prevention or treatment of dangerous coagulation, particularly in the acute thrombus.
Conventionally, medications that treat blood clots can be classified into anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs
* Anticoagulants; The main function of anticoagulation is slow down clotting by reducing fibrin formation. However, they are also used to prevent clots from forming and growing.
* Antiplatelet agents; the main function of antiplatelet agents is to prevent platelets from clumping together. However, they also exert a similar effect to those of anticoagulation.
Thrombolytic activity is an action that dissolves dangerous clots in blood vessels, improves blood flow, with an aim to prevents damage to tissues associated with heart diseases and stroke.
Thrombolysis, also known as thrombolytic therapy, is a type of conventional medicine that performs the thrombolytic activity.
The most common agents of thrombolytic therapy are Eminase (anistreplase), Retavase (reteplase), and Striptease (streptokinase, kabikinase).
There are many factors associated with the risk of blood clots including bone fractures, major surgery, use of birth control pills, and pregnancy.
Epidemiologically, obesity, cigarette smoking, cancer, chemotherapy, and personal history of abnormal blood clotting are also the prevalent factors found in patients with thrombus.
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belongings to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and is found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild, or sweet.
On finding a potential compound that promotes blood thinning, researchers examined the property of onion extracts' antithrombotic effect.
According to the results of the experiment* Toyohira, one of the onion varieties showed significant antithrombotic activity both in vitro and in vivo.
* Moreover, Toyohira not only exhibited thrombolytic activity but also promoted the antiplatelet effect.
* Superkitamomiji, 2935A, and K83211, other varieties of onion showed only thrombolytic activity.
* More interestingly, quercetin, the richest flavonoid in onion, showed no correlation in the antithrombotic activity.
Based on the results, researchers strongly suggested that onion A. cepa can be classified into varieties with or without antithrombotic and thrombolytic effects.
In other words, only certain varieties of onion process antithrombotic and thrombolytic activity.
Taken altogether, certain onion varieties may be as antithrombotic and thrombolytic agents, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
