Identification
Name Dalteparin
Accession Number DB06779
Type small molecule
Description Dalteparin, a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) prepared by nitrous acid degradation of unfractionated heparin of porcine intestinal mucosa origin, is an anticoagulant. It is composed of strongly acidic sulphated polysaccharide chains with an average molecular weight of 5000 and about 90% of the material within the range of 2000-9000. LMWHs have a more predictable response, a greater bioavailability, and a longer anti-Xa half life than unfractionated heparin. Dalteparin can also be safely used in most pregnant women. Low molecular weight heparins are less effective at inactivating factor IIa due to their shorter length compared to unfractionated heparin.

Pharmacology
Indication Dalteparin is used as a prophylaxis for deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms in patients undergoing general surgery (e.g., abdominal, gynecologic, urologic), and in patients with acute medical conditions (e.g. cancer, bed rest, heart failure, severe lung disease). It is also used in patients who have severely restricted mobility, which poses a risk for thromboembolic complications. Dalteparin is also used concomitantly with aspirin and/or other therapy (e.g., nitrates, ?-adrenergic blockers, clopidogrel, platelet glycoprotein [GP] IIb/IIIa-receptor inhibitors) to reduce the risk of acute cardiac ischemic events. The patients who undergo this treatment combination have unstable angina or non-ST-segment elevation/non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (i.e., non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes). It is also used in the prevention of clotting during hemodialysis and hemofiltration in connection with acute renal failure or chronic renal insufficiency.
Mechanism of action Dalteparin potentiates the activity of ATIII, inhibiting the formation of both factor Xa and thrombin. The main difference between dalteparin and unfractionated heparin (UH) is that dalteparin preferentially inactivates factor Xa. As a result, only a slight increase in clotting time [(i.e. activated partial thomboplastin time (APTT)] is observed relative to UH. For this same reason, APTT is not used to monitor the effects of dalteparin except as an indicator for overdosage.
Absorption Almost completely absorbed after subcutaneous (sc) doses, with a bioavialability of about 87%.
Protein binding Less than unfractionated heparin, which is more than 90%.
Biotransformation Liver and the reticulo-endothelial system are the sites of biotransformation. They are partially metabolized by desulphatation and depolymerization.
Route of elimination After 4 hours, about 20% is seen in urine. Most of the remainder is found in the liver, gastrointestinal tract and kidney. The kidneys are the major site of dalteparin excretion (approximately 70% based on animal studies).
Toxicity Overdosage: hemorrhagic complications. Adverse Drug Reaction: (common) osteopenia with extended use; mild, reversible non-immunological thrombocytopenia; transient elevation of liver transaminases; alopecia. (uncommon): severe immunologically-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia; anaphylactic reactions; skin rash, skin necrosis; retroperitoneal hemorrhage; angioedema
