Heparin is a naturally occurring acidic mucopolysaccharide, linear anionic polyelectrolyte.It is a family of compounds composed of chains of different structures and strong negative charges.It has the effect of prolonging the clotting time of the blood.


Heparin is a water soluble substance made up of a variety of heparins of different molecular weights, with a molecular weight of approximately 3000 to 50,000 Daltons.

Medicinal heparin is extracted from the intestinal lining of pigs or cattle, so allergic reactions can occur. The 2000 pharmacopoeia stipulated that the potency of heparin sodium should not be less than 150 units per 1 mg.


The heparin biological standard is expressed by the number of units equivalent to each milligram of heparin preparation (60 ° C. 2 mmHg column for drying under vacuum for 3 hours). 1μ is the minimum amount of heparin required to prevent 1 ml of cat blood from clotting in a cold place within 24 hours.
