Heparin remains a major drug in prevention of thromboembolic disease. Concerns related to its animal source have prompted search for heparin analogues. The anticoagulant activity of heparin depends on a specific pentasaccharide sequence that binds antithrombin. We report the generation of a product with antithrombin-binding, anticoagulant, and antithrombotic properties similar to those of heparin, through combined chemical and enzymatic modification of a bacterial (E. coli K5) polysaccharide. The process is readily applicable to large-scale production.
