Abstract
Current anticoagulant agent such as warfarin and heparin have demonstrated lifethreatening side effect and its efficacy also been doubted. So, exploration of herbal plant been done and one of them is Mikania cordata. Mikania cordata (Bum. F.) B.L Robinson or commonly called selaput tunggul, in Malaysia, belongs to family of Asteraceae and it was claimed to prolonged PT (prothrombin time), APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) and TT (thrombin time) in early study. Thus, aim in this study were to identify the active compound through GCMS analysis and to determine level of factors VII, IX, X, II and FGN in plasma treated in vitro with different concentrations of M.cordata aqueous leaves extract. As a result, in 25.0 mg/ml of M. cordata extract, significant percentage of factor reduced can be observed which were in FII with 90.17%, followed by FGN (89.80%), FX (80.91%), FIX (69.15%) and finally FVII (62.67%) compared to control with p < 0.001.This finding was supported by the identification of malic acid which was believed to possess anticoagulant activity. Malic acid also reacts in concentration- dependent manner when 25.0 mg/ml of M. cordata extract treated on plasma showed high reduction of factors compared to 12. 5 mg/ml. In conclusion, it was confirmed that malic acid possess anticoagulant activity in concentration dependent manner, by reducing level of factors VII, IX, X, FII and FGN in plasma.
