Description

Heparin Magnesium is the magnesium salt form of heparin, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan anticoagulant. This specific salt form offers distinct stability and handling characteristics, making it a critical intermediate in the production of low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) and other refined anticoagulant APIs. It is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions focused on cardiovascular therapeutics and blood coagulation research. The compound is identified by CAS No. 54479-70-8.

Application

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Intermediate: Primary use as a key starting material in the synthesis of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) drugs like enoxaparin, dalteparin, and tinzaparin.
• Anticoagulant Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and raw material in R&D for novel anticoagulant and antithrombotic agents.
• Biochemical Reagent: Used in laboratory settings for studying heparin-protein interactions, enzyme inhibition assays, and other biochemical studies related to the coagulation cascade.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Potential use as an excipient in specific controlled-release or stabilized drug formulations where its polyanionic nature is beneficial.

Quality Control

Our Heparin Magnesium is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. It can be manufactured to meet various pharmacopoeial standards, including USP and EP monographs for Heparin Sodium and its derivatives. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, potency, and impurity profiles, ensuring traceability and compliance for GMP manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
