| Abstract | Heparin is a mucopolysaccharide [2], which is a long chain sugar molecule, is found in mucous and fluid surrounding the joints. Heparin was first discovered in 1918 and has been used as an anticoagulant for the treatment of venous thromboembolism or VTE (blood clots in the veins of lower extremities and the lung) since the 1930s. It is estimated that the annual incidence [3] of VTE is about one in 1000 adults, making anticoagulants one of the most important classes of prescribed drugs. |
