Heparin calcium
1. Basic Information
Name: Heparin calcium
Alias: Calcium heparinate, Heparin calcium salt
CAS No.: 37270-89-6
Molecular Formula: (C12H16CaN2S3O26)n
Molecular Weight: Macromolecular polysaccharide mixture, average molecular weight 6000–20000 Da
Category: Anticoagulant biopharmaceutical API, polysaccharide pharmaceutical raw material, clinical anticoagulant
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to off-white amorphous powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water; insoluble in ethanol, acetone, ether and other organic solvents
- Density (predicted): 1.52 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity
- Aqueous property: Weakly acidic aqueous solution, stable in pH 4–8 aqueous buffer
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Heterogeneous linear glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide, contains multiple sulfate groups, carboxyl groups, combined with calcium ions
- Anticoagulant mechanism: Combine with antithrombin III to inhibit blood coagulation factors, block thrombus formation
- Ion exchange characteristic: Calcium ions can be exchanged with sodium, potassium and other metal cations to prepare heparin sodium, heparin potassium
- Thermal stability: Stable below 80 ℃; long-term high temperature heating leads to polysaccharide chain degradation and reduced anticoagulant activity
- Photostability: Light-sensitive, long-term UV irradiation will degrade polysaccharide and decrease efficacy
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral aqueous solution; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid, strong alkaline substances

Safety Warning
Low-toxic pharmaceutical polysaccharide powder. Dust irritates eyes, nasal tract and respiratory mucosa; improper systemic absorption may cause bleeding risk. All operations must be carried out in ventilated fume hood with dust-proof respirator and nitrile gloves. Prescription anticoagulant raw material, excessive use leads to coagulation dysfunction and bleeding tendency. Waste liquid neutralized before discharge; solid waste classified as biological pharmaceutical hazardous waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
