I. INTRODUCTION
In Vitro Determination of the Anticoagulant Activity of
Terminalia catappa (Talisay) Leaf Extract in Human Blood
Increase in mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases, venous thromboembolism, heart
failure, and embolic stroke -- Worldwide concern
Compelling therapy continues to be a challenge and presents the need for new forms of
management to improve the impacts of hemorrhage
Coagulation - Blood supply is blocked and the flow of blood is reduced
At present, the control of the blood clotting process involves drug interventions to
prevent further tissue impairment

I. INTRODUCTION
In Vitro Determination of the Anticoagulant Activity of
Terminalia catappa (Talisay) Leaf Extract in Human Blood
Significance:
This study aims to determine if Terminalia catappa has anticoagulant
activity in human blood. If T. catappa is proven to have anticoagulant
activity, it could be used as an alternative for existing anticoagulant
medications.

Leaf Extraction
1. Leaves were oven-dried at 75°C for 4 hours and ground into fine
powder.
2. Soaked in 70% ethanol for 48 hours @ RT.
3. Filtered using Whatman No.1 filter paper.
4. Rotary evaporation to further dissolve solvent.
5. Waterbath at 40°C to concentrate.
6. Dried extract is refrigerated in air-tight container at 20°C until use.
7. To reconstitute, the ff. values were used:

III. MATERIALS AND METHODS
In Vitro Determination of the Anticoagulant Activity of
Terminalia catappa (Talisay) Leaf Extract in Human Blood
Research Procedure
Preparation of the Test Samples and Performance of WBCT20
1mL of human blood for each AC concentration (0.11mL):
25% (25g/mL)
50% (50g/mL)
75% (75g/mL)
100% (100g/mL)
The 0.11mL:1mL (leaf extract to human blood) is computed using
the standard 1:9 ratio of AC to blood.
Inverted five (5) times to allow proper mixing of sample and leaf extract &
left to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes
Lamb et al. (2021)
PRESENCE OF CLOT = NEGATIVE AC ACTIVITY
NO CLOT = POSITIVE AC ACTIVITY

In Vitro Determination of the Anticoagulant Activity of
Terminalia catappa (Talisay) Leaf Extract in Human Blood
Research Procedure
Preparation of Blank, Positive and Negative Controls
For positive control, the researcher used vacutainer tube with light blue
top containing sodium citrate as anticoagulant
Precise amount of blood needed depends on the vacutainer used
Inversion of three to four times
For the negative control, 1mL of blood is transferred to a glass tube
without any reagent or leaf extract
For the blank, 0.11mL of NSS is transferred to a glass tube and 1mL of
blood is then added
All controls are left to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes
Controls are used to test if the participants' blood have a normal clotting
activity
