Identification
Name Tinzaparin
Accession Number DB06822
Type small molecule
Description Tinzaparin is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), produced by enzymatic depolymerization of unfractionated heparin from porcine intestinal mucosa. It is a heterogeneous mixture of with an average molecular weight between 5500 and 7500 daltons. Tinzaparin is composed of molecules with and without a special site for high affinity binding to antithrombin III (ATIII). This complex greatly accelerates the inhibition of factor Xa. It is an anticoagulant and considered an antithrombotic. Tinzaparin must be given either subcutaneously or parenterally. LMWHs are less effective at inactivating factor IIa due to their shorter length compared to unfractionated heparin.

Pharmacology
Indication Tinzaparin is used for the prevention of postoperative venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and in patients undergoing general surgery who are at high risk of developing postoperative venous thromboembolism. It is also used for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism. It is indicated for use in preventing clot formation in indwelling intravenous lines for hemodialysis.
Mechanism of action Tinzaparin binds to the plasma protein antithrombin III, forming a complex with then accelerates the inhibition of factor Xa. Its affinity for factor Xa is 2-4 times greater than that of unbound ATIII. The inactivation of factor Xa in turn will exponentially generation of thrombin (factor IIa) molecules, which is needed to activate fibrinogen to fibrin. The coagulation cascade is inhibited because fibrin cannot be formed in the presence of tinzaparin. Like all LMWH, it cannot be given intramuscularly due to increased risk of hematoma.
Absorption Subcutaneous injection - about 90% when measured as anti-Xa activity versus 67% for anti-IIa activity.
Protein binding Low protein binding compared to unfractionated heparin.
Biotransformation Sulfation and polymerization occurs in the liver.
Route of elimination Linear elimination through kidneys
Toxicity Osteoporosis with increasing duration of use, bleeding, alopecia, heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). All of these adverse drug reactions occur less with LMWH compared to unfractionated heparin. Tinzaparin showed no toxic effects at doses up to 5 mg/kg in mice, rats, or dogs in standard acute, subacute, and chronic toxicity studies.

Drug Mechanism of interaction
Drotrecogin alfa Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) such as tinzaparin may enhance the adverse/toxic effects of drotrecogin alfa. Bleeding may occur. The potential benefits of drotrecogin alfa should be weighed against the increased risk of bleeding in patients on therapeutic doses of LMWHs.
Food Interactions
  • Herbs with anticoagulant/antiplatelet properties (ginger, gingko, garlic) may increase the risk of bleeding.
