Cordycepin separated from Cordyceps militaris is a major physiologic active component in Cordyceps militaris. The platelet aggregation is stimulated by $Ca^{2+}$, which is either mobilized from intracellular endoplasmic reticulum or transported from extracellular space. cGMP antagonizes the actions of $Ca^{2+}$. Based on these facts, we have investigated the effects of cordycepin on the mobilization of $Ca^{2+}$ and the production of cGMP on collagen ($10mu$g/ml)-induced human platelet aggregation. Cordycepin potently stimulated the human platelet aggregation induced by collagen ($10mu$g/ml) in a dose-dependent manner. Cordycepin (500 $mu$M) inhibited also the collagen-induced human platelet aggregation in the presence both 1 mM and 2 mM of $CaCl_2$. These are in accord with the results that cordycepin inhibited the $Ca^{2+}$- influx on collagen-induced human platelet aggregation. These results suggest that cordycepin decrease the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration to inhibit collagen-induced human platelet aggregation. Besides, cordycepin increased the level of cGMP on collagen-induced human platelet aggregation. This result is related with the decrease of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration, because cGMP inhibits the mobilization of $Ca^{2+}$. In addition, cordycepin inhibited the human platelet aggregation induced by LY -83583, inhibitor of guanylate cyclase. This result suggested that cordycepin inhibit the platelet aggregation by stimulating the activity of guanylate cyclase. In conclusion, we demonstrated that cordycepin might have the antiplatelet function by inhibiting $Ca^{2+}$-mobilization via the stimulation of the production of cGMP.
