Sulodexide,traded asAterina,is a highly purified mixture ofglycosaminoglycanscomposed ofheparan sulfate(80%) anddermatan sulfate(20%).

Pharmacology

[edit]

The low molecular weight of both sulodexide fractions allows for extensive oral absorption compared to unfractionatedheparin.The pharmacological effects of sulodexide differ substantially from other glycosaminoglycans and are mainly characterized by a prolonged half-life and reduced effect on global coagulation and bleeding parameters.[1]Due to the presence of both glycosaminoglycan fractions, sulodexide potentiates the antiprotease activities of bothantithrombin IIIandheparin cofactor IIsimultaneously.[2]

Uses

[edit]

Clinically, sulodexide is used for the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic diseases. Research has also demonstrated the beneficial effects of sulodexide in animal models ofreperfusion injury[3]and the treatment ofdiabetic nephropathy.[4][5][6] In combination withmelatonin,sulodexide has been shown to be a viable treatment option for patients suffering from central or sensorineuraltinnitus.[7][8]There have also been positive results in treating tinnitus using sulodexide as a monotherapy.[9]Sulodexide has also been effectively used in the treatment ofchronic venous disease.[10]
