The Toxicology of Native Fucosylated Glycosaminoglycans and the Safety of Their Depolymerized Products as Anticoagulants

Fucosylated glycosaminoglycan (FG) from sea cucumber is a potent anticoagulant by inhibiting intrinsic coagulation tenase (iXase). However, high-molecular-weight FGs can activate platelets and plasma contact system, and induce hypotension in rats, which limits its application. Herein, we found that...
