ABSTRACT: The present study aims to assess antioxidant and thrombolytic efficacy of Curcuma
amada Roxb. (Mango ginger) rhizome extracts terpenoid and phenolic compounds as new therapeutic
prospects to serve as fibrinolytic agents. Curcuma amada extract was fractioned with different
solvents based on polarity by using pure methanol, ethanol, hydro ethanol, and water. Preliminary
phytochemical analysis of all four Curcuma amada extracts revealed that hydroethanolic extract rich in
phenol and terpenoid phytocompounds, so hydroethanolic extract alone took for further analysis.
Quantitative phytochemical analysis of hydroethanolic extract of Curcuma amada reveals that rich in
alkaloid (58±1.08 mg AE/g) content than flavonoid and protein (44±0.78 QE mg/g and 37±0.72 mg/g)
contents respectively. Further in vitro thrombolytic analysis reveals hydroethanolic extract of
Curcuma amada exhibited the highest and most significant clot lysis (42.35%) of human blood
compared to standard streptokinase (29.47%). Hydro ethanolic extract of Curcuma amada rhizome
showed seven major compounds peaks in GCMS analysis such as geraniol, curcumin, camphene,
eucalyptol, carvacrol, turmerone, nortrachelogenin belongs to terpenoid, phenolic and lignan group of
phytocompounds. Further, In silico molecular docking analysis of seven identified compounds from
rhizome shown compounds curcumin (-7.8, -7.8 kcal/mol) and nortrachelogenin (-7.1, -6.9 kcal/mol)
excellent binding affinity with thrombolytic target proteins tissue plasminogen activator (PDB 1A5H)
and coagulation factor XA (PDB 1NFY). Finally molecular dynamic simulation studies shown curcumin
possess excellent simulation trajectory with tissue plasminogen activator (PDB 1A5H) and coagulation
factor XA target protein than with standard drug colchicine. Further clinical study is needed to
understand the exact thrombolytic mechanism of Curcuma amada rhizome.

INTRODUCTION
According to the World Health Organization,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses
conditions affecting the heart and blood arteries,
including heart disease, cerebrovascular disease,
and other dysfunctions. An estimated 17.5
million people, or 31% of all deaths globally, are
thought to be related to cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs) [1,2]. Furthermore, the majority of
deaths from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are
caused by strokes and heart attacks. More
