Heparin manufacturing • Combine 5,000 lbs. intestines, 200 gallons water, 10 gallons chloroform, and 5 gallons toluene. Hold at 90°F for 17 hours. • Add 30 gallons acetic acid, 35 gallons ammonia, sodium hydroxide to adjust pH, and 235 gallons water. Bring to a boil; then filter. • Add 200 gallons hot water to filtrate and allow to stand overnight, then skim off the fat. • Keep pancreatic extract at 100°F for three days, then bring to boil. • Filter solids and assay for heparin content.
The Unfractionated Heparins - Limitations • variability of preparations • unpredictable neutralization by PF-4 • binds to endothelial cells, plasma proteins, macrophages • poor clot penetration • indirect anticoagulant - relies on AT III levels, structure • stimulates platelet aggregation • HIT(TS)!! • made of beef and pork intestine (and sausage, manure) • discovered by a medical student !

EnoxaparinKey Principles • Subcutaneous dosing • delay between dose and effect (peak 3-4h) • not therapeutic from dose 1 • steady-state only after 3-4 doses • ~5% of patients still <0.6 anti-Xa IU/ml • Cath lab considerations • no monitoring available • t½ of subq enox ~8h (sheath pull) • adverse interactions between enox + UFH, enox + GP IIb/IIIa (↑ anticoagulation → bleeding, adverse events) • pharmacodynamics of IV enox = IV UFH
