Artemisia dracunculus ethanolic extract significantly reduced hyperglycemia in mice with chemically induced insulin deficiency and diabetes and, an activity-guided fractionation revealed six active poly phenolic compounds(Schmide et al.,2007).The essential oil was screened in guinea pig and rat plasma in order to assess antiplatelet activity and inhibition of clot retraction.A. dracunculus oil showed high antiplatelet activity agninst ADP,arachidonic acid and the thromboxane A [2] agonist U46619 and a good ability to destabilize clot retraction,which was attributed to the presence of phenylpropanoids (Tognolini et al.,2006).
