Potential of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa as a native anticoagulant been tested by evaluating
the possible haemostatic effect of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa aqueous leaf extract in vitro. In
vitro coagulation assays such as Thrombin time (TT), Prothrombin time (PT) and Activated
partial thromboplastin time (APTT) tests were performed on normal coagulation control
plasma spiked with different concentrations of the leaf extract (10 – 100%). Total tannin and
flavonoid for all different concentrations of leaf extract was measured using
spectrophotometer. The results were analyzed using one way ANOVA followed by post-hoc
Dunnet’s and Pearson’s correlation. The results showed that TT, PT and APTT of normal
coagulation control plasma spiked with extract were markedly prolonged. A significant
anticoagulant (p < 0.05) showed by PT was at lowest concentration (10%), TT was at
concentration 50 – 100% and APTT was at concentration 80% - 100%. The clotting times for
TT, PT and APTT were significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with total tannin and flavonoid. In
summary, a potent anticoagulant effect of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa significantly higher in
extrinsic pathway (PT) and the bioactive compound of tannin and flavonoid attributes to
the anticoagulant activity of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.
