Heparin sodium is an anticoagulant, a kind of mucopolysaccharide substance, which is the sodium salt of glucosamine sulfate extracted from the intestinal mucosa of pigs, cattle and sheep. In human body, it is secreted by mast cells and naturally exists in blood. Heparin sodium has the function of preventing platelet aggregation and destruction, inhibiting the transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin monomer, inhibiting the formation of thrombin and fighting the formed thrombin, preventing the transformation of prothrombin into thrombin and antithrombin, etc. Heparin can delay or prevent blood clotting both in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of its action is very complex and it affects many links in the coagulation process. Its functions are as follows: (1) inhibit the formation and action of thrombin, so as to prevent prothrombin from becoming thrombin; In high concentration fashion can inhibit thrombin and other coagulation factors and hinder the transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin; Can prevent platelet agglutination and destruction.
