[Heparin from the meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) and its properties]. / Geparin iz tavolgi viazolistnoi, ego svoistva.

In the present work, the nature of an anticoagulant from Philipendula ulmaria was studied. A method for purification of this anticoagulant was developed. Using diverse methods it was shown that the molecular weight, data on element (sulphur, nitrogen, and hydrogen) content, spectral characteristics in the infrared region of the spectrum, and electrophoretic properties of the product indicate its similarity to heparin of animal origin.

[The content of a heparin-like anticoagulant in the flowers of the meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria)]. / Soderzhanie geparinopodobnogo antikoagulianta v tsvetkakh tavolgi viazolistnoi.

The flowers of Filipendula ulmaria were found to contain heparin bound to the plant proteins in the form of a complex. This complex enhances the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic properties of the nonenzymatic nature at its administration to animals both intramuscularly and intravenously. The neutralizing effect of protaminesulphate on the anticoagulant activity of the plant heparin was shown. The identity of the action on the hemostasis system of heparin of animal and plant origin was found.

[Hemostatic system function as affected by thromboplastic agents from higher plants]. / Sostoianie sistemy gemostaza pri deistvii tromboplasticheskikh agentov iz vysshikh rastenii.

It has been determined that the thromboplastic agents from the inflorescence of the birch Betula pendula Roth, blossoms of the willow Salix daphnoides Vill., seeds of the pea Pisum sativum L. provoke protective reaction of the animal's anticoagulation system, though weaker expressed than the reaction of thromboplastin from brain. The mechanisms of action of thromboplastic agents of plant origin is similar to the mechanism of action of tissue thromboplastin.
