To determine the antagonization of anticoagulant and lipolytic effects of a low molecular weight [LMW] heparin preparation protamine chloride was given intravenously after i.v. injection of LMW or normal heparin. The effects of normal heparin on factor Xa, thrombin, aPTT, lipoprotein [LPL] and hepatic triglyceride lipase [HTGL] activities were neutralized immediately by i.v. protamine. The inhibition of thrombin and aPTT by LMW heparin were also abolished, whereas the effects on LPL and HTGL were counteracted to 80% and on factor Xa only to 40% by i.v. protamine chloride. No rebound of the anticoagulant or lipolytic effect was detected. It is assumed that haemorrhagic complication during therapy can be antagonized by protamine chloride. The incomplete inhibitory effect of protamine chloride on LPL, HTGL and factor Xa activities of LMW heparin indicate that protamine chloride requires more than 14 saccharide units in the heparin molecule for interaction.

A natural lacquer polysaccharide with complex branches was separated into two fractions, LPH (MW 16.9x10(4)) and LPL (MW 6.85x10(4)). Results of 13C NMR and FT-IR indicated they had the same structure. The treatment of LPL with sodium periodate led to a partial cut-off of side chains with 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid in the terminal. These polysaccharides were sulfated in the presence of Py*SO3/DMSO. Depending on the reaction conditions, the products showed a different degree of sulfation (DS) ranging from 0.57 to 1.57 and different molecular weights ranging from 1.71x10(4) to 3.49x10(4). FT-IR analysis showed the equatorial primary OH at O-6 and the axial secondary OH at O-4 were sulfated. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time and thrombin time (TT) assays showed the sulfated polysaccharides could prolong APTT and TT, but not TP. These activities strongly depended on the DS, the molecular weights (MW) and the branching structure of polysaccharides. DS of above 0.8 was essential for anticoagulant activity. The anticoagulant activity increased with the DS and the molecular weights. The molecular weights played a more important role. The branching structure of polysaccharides increased the activities. In our studies, the sulfated polysaccharides with the DS of 1.15 and the highest MW of 3.49x10(4) had the best blood anticoagulant activities.
