Popis: A new previously unknown activity of the low molecular-weight heparin Fraxiparin (Sanofi) has been discovered. This is its ability to reduce the plasma clotting action of snake venom coagulases at final concentration of more than 12.5 anti-Xa U/ml, while the unfractionated heparin does not possess this property. The experiments demonstrated that Fraxiparin the action of Echis carinatus prothrombin-activating venom to a greater degree and Agkistrodon halys halys thrombin-like coagulase to a lesser degree. Unlike the unfractionated heparin, Fraxiparan also prevents the death of white rats from acute toxic hemocoagulant shock caused by the intravenous injection of DL100 Echis carinatus venom.
