Heparin: Powerful and Instantaneously acting Anticoagulant
نویسنده
چکیده
Anticoagulantis an agent that is used to prevent the formation of blood clots. Anticoagulants, such as heparin or warfarin work on chemical reactions in the body to lengthen the time it takes to form a blood clot. Heparin the anticoagulant drug that is used to prevent blood clots from forming during and after surgery and to treat various heart, lung, and circulatory disorders in human body. Heparin is comparatively a strong acid that forms water–soluble salts. It is used in treatment of venous thrombosis and its extensions, pulmonary embolism (PE), peripheral arterial embolism. Smoking and alcohol may alter response to heparin. Abrupt withdrawal of heparin may precipitate increased coagulability.

Heparin Resistance During and Post-Intravenous Nitroglycerin Infusion
Nitroglycerin has been reported to reduce activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) values in patients treated with concurrent heparin and nitroglycerin. However, studies have yielded conflicting results. To determine whether intravenous nitroglycerin alters the anticoagulant effect of heparin, we prospectively evaluated twenty patients admitted for coronary angioplasty by measurin...

Heparin was isolated from whole clam tissue Marcia opima . Purification of multimilligram quantities of heparin from this tissue sample permitted a thorough examination of its anticoagulant activity characterization, which was partially purified by fractionation by anion exchange chromatography using DEAE cellulose column. The isolated crude and partially purified fractionated sample showed me...

Introduction: Heparin is only fast acting anticoagulant drug available in the injectable form. Skin discoloration is an adverse and unpleasant outcome of subcutaneous heparin injection that is observed frequently and causes the patient both physical and psychological discomfort thus limiting the further sites for injection. It is therefore important that nurses use an injection technique that m...
متن کاملFrom heparin to EP217609: the long way to a new pentasaccharide-based neutralisable anticoagulant with an unprecedented pharmacological profile.
The elucidation of the structure of the antithrombin binding sequence in heparin has given a large impulse to the rational design of heparin related drugs. De novo chemical synthesis of the corresponding pentasaccharide as well as simplified analogues has provided very specific, antithrombin-mediated inhibitors of factor Xa with various pharmacokinetic profiles. Fondaparinux and idraparinux are...
متن کاملA synthetic anticoagulant: a polysulfuric acid ester of polyanhydromannuronic acid (paritol); experience with its use in man.
The effects of the use of Paritol administered intravenously to 35 individuals are herein reported. This synthetic anticoagulant produces a prolongation of the clotting time similar to that produced by heparin but of longer duration, if appropriate dosage is used. As with heparin, at therapeutic clotting time levels, the prothrombin time is slightly prolonged. Certain untoward effects have been...
