Thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a blood vessel. Treatment involves antithrombotic agents such as anticoagulants, and researchers developed silver-magnetite nanoparticles (Ag-Fe₃O₄) using a green synthesis method using robusta coffee bean extract (Coffea canephora) containing chlorogenic acid as a natural reducing, stabilizing, and thrombolytic agent. The …
Thrombosis is a leading global cause of cardiovascular diseases. While anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, and thrombolytic therapies are the standard clinical treatments, iron oxide nanoparticles offer an alternative approach due to their ability to accumulate at sites of inflammation, such as thrombi and atherosclerotic plaques. These nanoparticles can act as photothermal agents, absorbing l…
Thrombosis is a condition that occurs due to an imbalance in the hemostasis system characterized by the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in the blood vessel wall so that it can cause ischemic stroke disease. The anti-thrombotic drugs commonly used are thrombolytics. These drugs contain fibrinolytic enzymes such as protease enzymes. Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr) is known to have an an…
Thrombosis caused by blood clot formation can lead to serious complications. Conventional therapies carry a risk of bleeding, making photothermal therapy based on optical-magnetic nanoparticles such as AgNO₃ and Fe₃O₄ a safer alternative. These nanoparticles are synthesized via green synthesis using butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) extract, which contains flavonoids and anthocy…
