Heparin2 is a glycosaminoglycan widely used therapeutically as an anticoagulant and antilipemic agent. It is a linear alternating copolymer of a hexosamine and uronic acid, with a predominant repeating disaccharide unit (Figure 1) of 2-sulfamino-2-deoxyaD-glucopyranosyl-6-sulfate and-L-idopyranosyluronic acid 2-sulfate with both linkages being (1—*-4). Substantial microheterogeneity exists, the major features of which includethe occurrence of/JD-glucopyranosyluronic acid as a minor uronic acid component, the occurrence of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-aD-glucopyranose as a minor hexosamine component, incomplete sulfation, with the number of sulfate groups per disaccharide ranging from approximately 2.0 to 2.5, andmolecular weight polydispersity, with mean molecular weights in the range of 8000 to 15 000.
