The herbal agents rich in flavonoids are progressively becoming popular these days as they are considered to have anti-oxidant effects and also lack bothersome effects. That's why existing research was encircled around the anti-coagulant effect of Nelumbo nucifera fruit (NNF) as it is also a rich source of flavonoids and cultivated in abundance especially in tropical regions of Asia but its usefulness as anti-coagulant agent was never determined pharmacologically. Anticoagulant assessment was done in thirty five male Wister rats which were separated equally in 5 groups. Results of the current study revealed that NNF 200mg/kg significantly prolonged prothrombin time and thrombin time, whereas fibrinogen level was highly significantly reduced as compared to control. Fibrinogen level was also reduced highly significantly with NNF 100 mg/kg as compared to control without affecting other parameters of coagulation i.e. activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and thrombin time. NNF exhibited strong anti-coagulant activity which may be due to the inhibitory effects on platelet activation, adhesion and aggregation along with inhibitory effects on thromboxane A2 formation. Presence of alkaloid i.e. neferine and flavonoids in it may be a reason of its anti-coagulant activity but more pre-clinical and clinical evaluation needs to be conducted to establish these findings.
