Fibrinolytic and haemostatic activities of caffeic acid phenethyl ester and propolis from Malaysian stingless bee and romanian poplar in vitro

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a phenolic derivative from propolis and plants. The aims of this study include: (1) Development and validation of an in vitro whole blood (WB) clot lysis procedure for fibrinolytic activity study, (2) Investigation of fibrinolytic, antiplatelet and anticoagu...
