The new-fangled stem buds\u2019 powder was extracted with 80% ethanol and successively fractionated by chloroform and methanol. Chloroform and methanol fractions of Ficus\u00a0religiosa (CFFR and MFFR) were tested for antiplatelet, antithrombotic, thrombolytic, and antioxidant activity in ex vivo mode. The MFFR was particularly investigated for GC-MS and toxicity. The antiplatelet activity of the CFFR, MFFR, and standard drug aspirin at 50 \u03bcg\/mL was 54.32%, 86.61%, and 87.57%, and a significant delay in clot formation was noted. CFFR at different concentrations did not show a significant effect on the delay of clot formation, antiplatelet, and free radical scavenging activity. The most possible marker compounds for antiplatelet and antioxidant activity identified by GC-MS in the MFFR are salicylate derivatives aromatic compounds such as benzeneacetaldehyde (7), phenylmalonic acid (13), and Salicylic acid (14), as well as Benzamides derivatives such as carbobenzyloxy-dl-norvaline (17), 3-acetoxy-2(1H)-pyridone (16), and 3-benzylhexahydropyrrolo [1,2-a] pyrazine-1,4-dione (35). A toxicity study of MFFR did not show any physical indications of toxicity and mortality up to 1500 mg\/kg body weight and nontoxic up to 1000 mg\/kg, which is promising for the treatment of atherothrombotic diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules28093918","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T02:29:22Z","timestamp":1683512962000},"page":"3918","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Ex Vivo Antiplatelet and Thrombolytic Activity of Bioactive Fractions from the New-Fangled Stem Buds of Ficus religiosa L. with Simultaneous GC-MS Examination"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Sunil","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Integral University, Kursi-Road, Lucknow 226026, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3368-3867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Arif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Integral University, Kursi-Road, Lucknow 226026, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3585-0828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehnaz","family":"Kamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al- Kharj 11942, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Talha","family":"Jawaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh 13317, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4037-9778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed Moizuddin","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Medical Science, College of Medicine, Dar Al Uloom University, Riyadh 13314, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beenish","family":"Mukhtar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Medical Science, College of Medicine, Dar Al Uloom University, Riyadh 13314, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Physiology, Santosh Deemed to be University, Ghaziabad 201009, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Quest International University, Ipoh 30250, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saif","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh 13317, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2250-0914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saud M.","family":"AlSanad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh 13317, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Osama A.","family":"Al-Khamees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Riyadh 13317, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e9349","article-title":"Global Epidemiology of Ischemic Heart Disease: Results from the Global Burden of Disease Study","volume":"12","author":"Khan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11A","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2008.11.018","article-title":"Role of antiplatelet therapy across the spectrum of patients with coronary artery disease","volume":"103","author":"Bhatt","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am.
