Sodium Heparin is a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan anticoagulant produced via enzymatic extraction from porcine intestinal mucosa. Its molecular formula is C20H35NO16S (average) with CAS No. 9041-08-1, serving as the gold standard for preventing thrombus formation in industrial and clinical settings.
Strict storage at 2–8°C is required to maintain potency. Clinical use mandates monitoring of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) due to bleeding risks. Contraindicated in patients with active hemorrhage or severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia history.
