CAS 37270-89-6: Heparin calcium

Description:Heparin calcium is a complex polysaccharide and an anticoagulant medication commonly used to prevent and treat thromboembolic disorders. It is derived from animal tissues, primarily porcine intestinal mucosa or bovine lung, and is classified as a glycosaminoglycan. The substance is characterized by its high molecular weight and a unique structure composed of repeating disaccharide units, which include glucosamine and uronic acid. Heparin calcium functions by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III, leading to the inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa, thereby preventing blood clot formation. It is typically administered via injection and is known for its rapid onset of action. The calcium salt form of heparin is used to stabilize the compound and improve its solubility. Due to its anticoagulant properties, heparin calcium is crucial in various medical settings, including surgery, dialysis, and the management of certain cardiovascular conditions. However, its use requires careful monitoring to avoid complications such as bleeding or thrombocytopenia.
