Enoxaparin sodium is the sodium salt of low molecular weight heparin obtained by alkaline depolymerization of the benzyl ester derivative of heparin from pork intestinal mucosa. The potency is between 90 IU and 120 IU of anti-factor Xa activity per milligram, calculated with reference to the dried substance. The ratio of anti-factor Xa activity to anti-factorⅡa activity is between 3.3 and 5.3.
Enoxaparin sodium is indicated for venous thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis, unstable angina and Non-Q-Wave myocardial infarction, and hemodialysis and so on.
