Heparin, a widely used anticoagulant, is being rapidly displaced by low-molecular-weight heparins. Recently, certain lots of heparin have been associated with anaphylactoid-type reactions resulting from contamination with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate. This impurity has also contaminated low-molecular-weight heparins obtained by chemical and enzymatic depolymerization of heparin. The sensitivity of oversulfated chondroitin sulfate to five different depolymerization processes similar to ones used in preparing low-molecular-weight heparins is reported.
肝素是一种广泛使用的抗凝剂,正迅速被低分子量肝素所取代。最近,某些批次的肝素与因硫酸皮肤素过度硫酸化污染而导致的类过敏反应有关。这种杂质也污染了通过肝素化学和酶解聚获得的低分子量肝素。本文报道了硫酸皮肤素过度硫酸化对五种不同解聚过程的敏感性,这些过程类似于制备低分子量肝素时所使用的过程。
