Sulodexide

Sulodexide is a mixture of glycosaminoglycans available in soft capsule form for oral administration. It is composed of low molecular weight heparin (80%) and dermatan sulfate (20%). Sulodexide exhibits antithrombotic activity through interaction with antithrombin III (AT III) and heparin cofactor II (HC II), and inhibition of thrombin formation. Sulodexide exhibits profibrinolytic activity through release of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Sulodexide exhibits endothelial protective and anti-inflammatory effect, ameliorates chronic venous disease^[1]. Sulodexide is a glycosaminoglycan mixture available in soft gelatin capsule form for oral administration. In Vitro:Sulodexide (0–200 μg/mL, 24 hours) promotes fibronectin and collagen type III synthesis in mouse mesangial cells^[2].
Sulodexide (50 µg/mL, 48 hours) significantly inhibits capillarization marker expression in LSECs^[4].
Note: This product is in soft capsule form and has viscous contents.
In Vivo:Sulodexide (1 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 12 weeks) significantly improves proteinuria and renal function in Streptozotocin (HY-13753)-induced type I diabetic nephropathy in mice^[2].
Sulodexide (5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 5 days) significantly inhibits retinal neovascularization and suppressed pro-angiogenic protein expression in the oxygen-induced retinopathy model in ICR mice^[3].
Sulodexide (20 mg/kg, i.g., once daily for 4 weeks) significantly attenuats fibrosis in the Thioacetamide (HY-Y0698)-induced liver fibrosis model in mice^[4].
Sulodexide (40 mg/kg, i.g., single dose) significantly improvs survival and reduced lung injury in the LPS (HY-D1056)-induced endotoxemia model in C57BL/6J mice^[5].
