Overview

Sulodexide is a highly purified mixture of glycosaminoglycans composed of low molecular weight heparin (80%) and dermatan sulfate (20%).

Pharmacology

The low molecular weight of both sulodexide fractions allows for extensive oral absorption compared to unfractionated heparin. 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 both antithrombin III and heparin cofactor II simultaneously.[2]

Uses

Clinically, sulodexide is used for the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic diseases however recent research has also demonstrated the beneficial effects of sulodexide in animal models of reperfusion injury[3] and the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.[4][5][6] In combination with Melatonin, Sulodexide have been shown to be a viable treatment option for patients suffering from central or sensorineural tinnitus.[7][8]
