Carbon dots derived from <i>Zingiber officinale</i> Rosc (ginger) with hemostatic effects.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ginger, as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), can be used in clinical practice to treat various diseases. The product of ginger processed at high temperatures is called carbonized ginger (CG), which has a hemostatic effect that ginger originally did not have. The purpose of this study is to investigate the hemostatic effect of CG and the substances that exert hemostatic effects.

Methods

CG was prepared and successfully obtained CG carbon dots (CG-CDs) from its aqueous solution. After fully characterizing its structural information, the hemostatic effect was evaluated using mouse tail bleeding and liver injury bleeding models, and the clotting time was evaluated using capillary coagulation experiments. In addition, the hemostatic mechanism of CG-CDs was explor
