Abstract :
Plants have been used in traditional medicine,
which has developed into an intriguing but mostly untapped
route for the introduction of novel medications. Although
Gliricidia sepium, also known as Madre de cacao or
kawakate, is used to treat coagulation problems in traditional
medicine, there is no scientific evidence to support its
hemostatic ability as of yet. The hemostatic potential of
Gliricidia sepium trunk extract was investigated in this work.
Utilizing citrated plasma and conventional techniques,
extracts of the Gliricidia sepium trunk were extracted through
squeezing and tested for their hemostatic effects using the
prothrombin time (PT),
Keywords :
Gliricidia sepium, hemostasis, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, clotting time.
