Screening of Potential Anti-Thrombotic Ingredients from <i>Salvia miltiorrhiza</i> in Zebrafish and by Molecular Docking

Background: Danshen (DS), the dry root of <i>Salvia miltiorrhiza</i> Bge., has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for many years to promote blood circulation and to inhibit thrombosis. However, the active ingredients responsible for the anti-thrombotic effect and the underly...
