 Heparinoids are mucopolysaccharides obteined from different animal organs, especially from duodenum, through soft extraction processes which guarantee the integrity of the active elements.

Heparinoids are heteropolysaccharides of straight chains with different degree of sulphation. The principal constituents, Dermatan Sulfate A, Heparan Sulfate, and Chondroitin Sulphate, present a wide spectrum of biological activities, although very low anticoagulant capacity.

CAS NO. 54328-33-5





Heparinoids have the same properties of each one of its individual constituents with a pronounced synergism, which increases the pharmacological effect of the individual components.

At therapeutic level it can be determined:
  • Activation of the lipoprotein elimination by stimulation of the lipases responsible for their degradation ( lipasemic activity ).
  • Inhibition of cell proliferation in the vascular walls.
  • Regulation of the transport of plasmatic proteins through the capilary wall, in this way, preventing from protein losses at level of kidney glomerulus structures.
Heparinoids prevent from lipoprotein and chylomicrons depositionin in the vascular wall;

Therefore, cholesterol accumulation in arterial tissues is inhibited, which contributes to decrease artherosclerosis disorders.





In cosmetics and dermopharmaceutical the applications are as follows:
  • Acting on epidermis as antiedematous and anticongestive agents, favouring the elimination of superficial minor bleeding since heparinoids fluidize blood accumulated in the arterioles and accelerate the reabsorption of haematomas.
  • Moisturizing effect mainly due to its content of Chondroitin Sulfate and Dermatan Sulfate.
  • Anticellulitic and antivaricose properties acting, therefore, against flaccidity and inflamation of altered epidermal areas.
