Sphagnum palustre (SP), a species of moss belong to the Sphagnaceae family, is used as a dwarfed potted plant, in diapers, bandages, and soil additives. Although, SP can be found all over the world and is very cheap, the study of SP components and bioactivities are still at a rudimentary stage. In this study, the hot-water extract of SP (HWSP) and its subsequent organic solvent fractions were prepared, and their in-vitro anti-thrombosis activities were evaluated. The results showed that the water residue of HWSP has a strong anti-coagulation activity with significant extensions of thrombin time, and platelet aggregation activity. Our results suggest that the SP has the potential to be a novel resource for anti-thrombosis agents. This report provides the first evidence of the anti-thrombosis activity of SP.
