Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce the subject homogeneous compound stable in high thrombin activity by converting a heparin into a low-molecular weight one in the presence of a metallic salt under specific conditions by using a specified amount of a peroxide. SOLUTION: A heparin is converted into a low-molecular weight one in the presence of a bivalent metallic salt (e.g. a salt such as copper acetate or copper sulfate) by using a peroxide (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) in a weight X based on the weight Z of the heparin and determined by the formula X=Y/100×Z×W [Y is the content % of a sulfate group-substitute uronic acid in the heparin; W is 1-(1/25)] at 60-80 deg.C for 3-8 hr. Thereby, the low-molecular heparin having a 1.5-3.0 activity ratio of the anti-Xa factor activity/antithrombin activity is produced. The reaction is preferably carried out in an aqueous solution at a heparin concentration within the range of 1-10 wt./vol.%. An adequate amount of ascorbic acid or the like, as necessary, may be added to the reactional solution. The reaction is preferably conducted while keeping the pH thereof at 7.5-7.8.

2. Description of the Related Art Heparin is widely used for the treatment and prevention of generalized intravascular coagulation and various thrombotic diseases, and for preventing blood coagulation during extracorporeal circulation such as hemodialysis and cardiopulmonary bypass. On the other hand, it promotes bleeding tendency and has a large effect on the platelet / lipid system, and is not a clinically easy-to-use drug. In recent years, heparin has been treated with nitrite, peroxide, or enzymatic treatment such as heparin-degrading enzyme to give an average molecular weight of 50.
A low molecular weight heparin of about 00 has been found, and it is reported that the risk of bleeding is extremely low while having an excellent antithrombotic effect as compared with normal heparin.
