Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for depolymerizing a heparin, to obtain a new depolymerized heparin prepared by the method for depolymerization and its amidated derivative and further a pharmaceutical composition comprising the depolymerized heparin and its amidated derivative as active ingredients. SOLUTION: This method for depolymerizing the heparin is characterized by using a reducing metal and a metal oxide and the method for depolymerizing the heparin comprises the step. The depolymerized heparin is obtained by the method for depolymerization. Furthermore, the amidated depolymerized heparin is obtained and an anticoagulant, a therapeutic agent for renal diseases, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a radical scavenger, a mesangium cell proliferation inhibitor and a complement activity inhibitor comprise the depolymerized heparin or the amidated depolymerized heparin derivative.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain medium-molecular heparin which gives an amino acid deriv. effectively usable for various diseases reduced in bleeding tendency by depolymerizing heparin to a specified average mol.wt. SOLUTION: This medium-molecular heparin has an average mol.wt. of 8,500-9,500 and, when converted into an amino acid deriv., gives a medium- molecular heparinylamino acid deriv., more specifically a medium-molecular heparinylamino acid or its lower alkyl ester. The deriv. is used as the active component for compsns. for coagulation inhibition, nephric mesangial cell proliferation inhibition, cancer metastasis inhibition, complement activation inhibition, pulmonary inhibition, nephric disease inhibition, radical scavenging, allergic disease prevention, and a remedial medicine.
