Abstract: Provided are methods of making an extract of fruit of the Solanaceae family wherein fruit is processed to optimise the platelet aggregation inhibiting activity of the extract. The methods involve preparing a start mix of homogenised fruit; separating a water soluble fraction from fruit solids; filtration of the water soluble fraction; and concentration of active agents in the filtration permeate. The invention also provides fruit extracts manufactured by such methods, and also fruit extracts containing glycosylated phenolic acid or a phenolic ester, or derivatives thereof, a glycosylated flavonoid; and a nucleoside. The extracts of the invention are useful as medicaments for the treatment or prevention of a medical condition characterised by inappropriate platelet aggregation. In particular, the medicaments may be of use in maintaining heart health by reducing platelet aggregation; benefiting the circulation, and/or normalizing or otherwise benefiting blood flow.
