Whether blood coagulates in the body depends on the functions of blood vessels, platelets, and the coagulation system, and it is a complex chain reaction of proteolytic activation with the participation of various coagulation factors. Anticoagulant APIs exert anticoagulant effects by interfering with different aspects of the coagulation process or inhibiting a certain coagulation factor. Commonly used anticoagulant APIs include heparin and vitamin K antagonists warfarin, dicoumarol, etc. Antiplatelet APIs can inhibit the function of platelets to inhibit platelet thrombosis. Commonly used antiplatelet APIs include aspirin, persantin, sulfinpyrazone, dextran, prostacyction, and ticlopidine.
