چکیده

Individual low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) exhibit distinct pharmacological and biochemical profiles because of manufacturing differences. Correlation of biological properties with particular structural motifs is a major challenge in the design of new LMWHs as well as in the development of generic versions of proprietary LMWHs. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy permits identification and quantification of structural peculiarities of LMWH preparations. In this article, heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectroscopy, previously used to determine variously substituted monosaccharide components of heparan sulfate (HS) and HS-like glycosaminoglycan mimics, has been applied to the structural characterization of three commercially available LMWHs (enoxaparin, dalteparin, and tinzaparin). Relevant residues belonging to the parent heparin, as well as minor residues generated by each depolymerization procedure, have been characterized and quantified. The use of a high-sensitivity NMR spectrometer (600 MHz equipped with cryoprobe) allowed the accurate quantification of residues with sensitivity better than 1 to 2%.

Molecular weight of low molecular weight heparins by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Heparin and low molecular weight heparins are polydisperse polysaccharides with a degree of polymerization ranging from 4 to approximately 40. The determination of their average molecular weights has traditionally relied on size exclusion chromatography involving the use of oligosaccharides of known size and molecular weight as standards. 13C NMR spectroscopy is applied for the first time to ob...

Top-down and bottom-up analysis of commercial enoxaparins.

A strategy for the comprehensive analysis of low molecular weight (LMW) heparins is described that relies on using an integrated top-down and bottom-up approach. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, an essential component of this approach, is rapid, robust, and amenable to automated processing and interpretation. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides complementary top-down inform...

Structural characterization of heparins from different commercial sources.

Seven commercial heparin active pharmaceutical ingredients and one commercial low molecular weight from different manufacturers were characterized with a view profiling their physicochemical properties. All heparins had similar molecular weight properties as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (M(N), 10-11 kDa; M(W), 13-14 kDa; polydispersity (PD), 1.3-1.4) and by size exclusion ch...

Quantitative analysis of the major linkage region tetrasaccharides in heparin.

Heparin is a polysaccharide based anticoagulant drug composed of a complex mixture of glycosaminoglycan chains and peptidoglycosaminoglycan chains. In an effort to better characterize this important polysaccharide based drug, we examined the peptide components of the minor peptidoglycosaminoglycan chains comprising heparin. Three different the glycan-peptide linkage regions tetrasaccharide frag...

Comparison of Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins Prepared From Bovine Lung Heparin and Porcine Intestine Heparin.

Currently porcine intestine is the only approved source for producing pharmaceutical heparin in most countries. Enoxaparin, prepared by benzylation and alkaline depolymerization from porcine intestine heparin, is prevalent in the anticoagulant drug market. It is predicted that porcine intestine heparin-derived enoxaparin (PIE) will encounter shortage, and expanding its production from heparins ...
