Abstract
Heparin fractions which are a mixture of oligosaccharides containing 6-12 monosaccharides are described. The oligosaccharides contain reducing end groups composed of iduronic acid 2-sulfate or glucosamine N, 6-disulfate. The end group monosaccharides contain the reducing anomeric carbons. The SO.sub.3.sup.- /COO.sup.- ratio is essentially the same as in heparin. The method of preparation is a depolymerization initiated by free radicals. One fraction is a heparin fragment with a molecular weight (MWw) of 2,100 daltons (+10%). The compound contains 6-8 monosaccharides, has the same SO.sub.3.sup.- /COO.sup.- ratio as the parent heparin and has platelet anti-aggregating activity, arterial and venous antithrombotic action, fibrinolytic and antiatherosclerotic activity. It exhibits poor anti factor Xa activity and no anticoagulant action.
