Background: Xinmailong (XML), a bioactive composite extracted from Periplaneta americana, has been widely used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as congestive heart failure. However, it is unclear whether XML has antiplatelet and antithrombotic effects.Methods: The effects of XML on agonist-induced platelet aggregation, adhesion and spreading, granule secretion, integrin alpha II b beta 3 activation, and thrombus formation were evaluated. Phosphorylation of Syk, PLC gamma 2, Akt, GSK3 beta, and MAPK signaling molecules was also studied on agonist-induced platelets. In addition, the antithrombotic effects of XML were observed in vivo using an acute pulmonary thrombosis mouse model.Results: XML dose-dependently inhibited in vitro platelet aggregation and granule secretion induced by thrombin, collagen, and arachidonic acid (AA). XML also greatly reduced platelet adhesion and spreading on both collagen- and fibrinogen-coated surfaces. Biochemical analysis revealed that XML inhibited thrombin-, collagen-, and AA-induced phosphorylation of Syk, PLC gamma 2, Akt, GSK3 beta, and MAPK. Additionally, XML significantly inhibited in vivo thrombus formation in a collagenepinephrine-induced acute pulmonary thrombosis mouse model.Conclusions and General Significance: Here, we provide the first report showing that XML inhibits platelet function and that it possesses antithrombotic activity. This suggests that XML could be a potential therapeutic candidate to prevent or treat platelet-related cardiovascular diseases.
