The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and discloses application of pantethine in preparation of medicines for preventing and / or treating thrombotic diseases or medicines for inhibiting platelet activation or regulating vascular endothelial cell functions. In-vivo and in-vitro experiments prove that pantethine can remarkably relieve thrombus load in a mouse thrombus model, down-regulate expression of vWF (von Willebrand Factor), up-regulate expression of TFPI (Tissue Factor Path Inhibitor) and TH BD (Thromboregulatory Protein), and antagonize platelet adhesion, aggregation and activation induced by a platelet activator. The action mechanism is closely related to inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and NF-kappa B signal channel activation, and improvement of endothelial cell functions. It can be known from the invention that pantethine plays an antithrombotic role from multiple aspects, and is suitable for preparation of antithrombotic drugs for prevention or treatment. The invention provides a new drug choice for prevention and treatment of thrombotic diseases.
