Pentasaccharides. The New Anticoagulants, Hikmat Abdel-Razeq
Saudi Medical Journal
Venous thromboembolism VTE remains a common but preventable disease. The last decade has witnessed major advances in VTE treatment and prophylaxis. Low molecular weight heparins LMWH became the agents of choice in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis DVT and are increasingly used in the treatment of stable pulmonary embolism PE. Increasing focus on simplicity and efficacy has led to the discovery of the synthetic pentasaccharides, substances that specifically inhibit factor Xa activity, producing an antithrombotic effect without affecting other coagulation factors or platelets. Fondaparinux, the first pentasaccharide introduced into the market, was first tried as a prophylactic agent against …
