Identification
Name Ardeparin
Accession Number DB00407 (APRD00803)
Type small molecule
Description Ardeparin, marketed under the US trade name Normiflo, is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulant used for the prevention of postoperative venous thrombosis. Ardeparin is derived via peroxide degradation of heparin extracted from porcine intestinal mucosa. Its molecular weight ranges from 2000 to 15,000 with an average molecular weight of 5500 to 6500. Normiflo was withdrawn from the US market in March 2000.

Pharmacology
Indication For prevention of deep vein thrombosis, which may result in pulmonary embolism, following knee surgery.
Mechanism of action Ardeparin binds to antithrombin III, accelerating its activity in inactivating factor Xa and thrombin, thereby inhibiting thrombosis. Ardeparin also binds to heparin cofactor II, inhibiting thrombin. Ardeparin does not effect prothrombin time (PT) assays and may prolong activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Ardeparin has double the anti-factor Xa activity versus anti-factor IIa activity, compared to unfractionated heparin which has approximately equal anti-factor Xa activity and anti-factor IIa activity.
Absorption Well absorbed following subcutaneous administration, with a mean bioavailability of 92% (based on anti-factor Xa activity).
Protein binding Not Available
