High and low affinity heparin compared with unfractionated heparin as antithrombotic drugs. 1984

R E Merton, and D P Thomas, and S J Havercroft, and T W Barrowcliffe, and U Lindahl

A preparation of heparin was separated by affinity chromatography into two fractions: one of high ( HAH ) and the other of low (LAH) affinity to antithrombin III. These two fractions were compared with unfractionated heparin ( UFH ) by in vitro assay and their ability to impair experimental stasis thrombosis was also examined. Although the in vitro activity of HAH was double that of UFH , HAH was less effective than UFH as an antithrombotic drug; LAH was virtually inactive, both in vitro and in vivo. A mixture of 30 micrograms/kg of HAH and 50 micrograms/kg of LAH was as effective in preventing thrombosis as 80 micrograms/kg of UFH , and was more effective than 40 micrograms/kg of HAH alone, demonstrating that LAH potentiates the action of HAH in vivo.

D010314 Partial Thromboplastin Time The time required for the appearance of FIBRIN strands following the mixing of PLASMA with phospholipid platelet substitute (e.g., crude cephalins, soybean phosphatides). It is a test of the intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII) and the common pathway (fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors V and X) of BLOOD COAGULATION. It is used as a screening test and to monitor HEPARIN therapy.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
