Reviparin is an antithrombotic and belongs to the group of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH).
Medical uses
[edit]- Prevention of blood clots
- Prophylaxis of perioperative thromboembolism[1][2]
- Treatment of DVT with or without pulmonary embolism (PE)[3]
- Prophylaxis of acute thrombotic events after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)[4][5]
Chemistry
[edit]Reviparin is a low molecular weight heparin obtained by nitrous acid depolymerization of heparin extracted from porcine intestinal mucosa. Its structure is characterized, for the most part, by a group of 2-O-sulfo-α-lidopyranosuronic acid. The average molecular weight is about 3900 daltons.
