Abstract: Objective: To study the effect of anti-cerebral ischemia of GSC. Methods: A focal cerebral ischemia model was set up through blocking one-side medium cerebral artery, the effects on infarction area and behavior scoring(neuological deficits) of GSC were observed; blood stasis model was built in rats , the effects on platelet aggregation rate and clotting time of GSC were observed. Results: GSC with dose of 10.4, 20.8 and 31.2mg/kg could significantly decrase the infarction area and improve behavior score(p<0.05, p<0.01); GSC with dose of 10.4, 20.8 and 31.2mg/kg could remarkably decrase the platelets aggregation rate(p<0.05) , and markedly prolong the clotting time in blood stasis rats. Conclusion: GSC have the effect of anti- cerebral ischemia and its mechanism may be related to lowering platelets aggregation rate and prolonging clotting time.

Key words: GSC, cerebral ischemia, infarction area, behavior score, platelets aggregation rate clotting time
