The invention belongs to the technical field of drug application, relates to a new use of a tumor vascular disrupting agent DMXAA, and in particular relates to the use of the tumor vascular disrupting agent DMXAA in preparation of antiplatelet and antithrombotic drugs, wherein the tumor vascular disrupting agent DMXAA has the structure represented by the formula (I). Through in-vitro, ex-vivo and in-vivo tests of the DMXAA, results show that a DMXAA antiplatelet mechanism is different from that of known antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, cilostazol and fibrinogen receptor antagonists, and the DMXAA simultaneously has dual activities of TXA2 generation inhibition and TXA2 receptor antagonism; and the experimental results indicate that the DMXAA can be used for the preparation of the effective and safe antiplatelet and antithrombotic drugs, and is used for prevention and treatment of arterial thrombotic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, apoplexy, peripheral vascular disease and the like.
