Two antiaggregant compounds, thymol (compound 1) and 3,4,3′,4′‐tetrahydroxy‐5,5′‐diisopropyl‐2,2′‐dimethylbiphenyl (compound 2) were isolated from the leaves of thyme ( Thymus vulgaris L.). The structures were determined by 1 H‐, 13 C‐NMR and mass spectra (MS) studies. These compounds inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen, ADP, arachidonic acid (AA) and thrombin except that compound 2 did not inhibit platelet aggregation induced by thrombin.
