Heparin is a complex polysaccharide-based anticoagulant drug that is essential for the practice of modern medicine [1]. Used in extracorporeal therapies, such as kidney dialysis, in the treatment of coagulation disorders, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and to passivate the surfaces of indwelling devices, such as catheters, a heparin-based product is the first choice whenever blood clotting needs to be prevented or controlled.There are three forms of heparin: unfractionated heparin (molecular weight average MWavg~ 15 000), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH, MWavg~ 6000), and ultra low molecular weight heparin (ULMWH, MWavg< 2000)[1-3]. The most widely used form is unfractionated heparin, a century-old drug prepared from animal tissues. Despite its widespread use it has several limitations including required intravenous administration and side effects such as heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and bleeding. In the 1990s, LMWHs were introduced and they have successfully captured a large share of the market becoming the anticoagulant of choice to treat DVTs. LMWHs are prepared from animalsourced unfractionated heparin through controlled depolymerization. These have the major advantage of being subcutaneously bioavailable and have a longer half-life allowing their outpatient use and/or self-administration. A major disadvantage of LMWHs is that, unlike unfractionated heparin, their anticoagulant effect is not readily reversible, thus increasing the risk for bleeding due to overdosing. The last decade has brought us ULMWHs (ie, fondaparinux), first synthesized by Sinaÿ et al.[4], which have well controlled pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics, have no viral or prion impurities (possible in animalsourced materials), are subcutaneously bioavailable, and are manufactured under current good manufacturing process (cGMP). Unfortunately, these agents are very expensive and like LMWHs are not readily reversible.
