1 The recognized therapeutic effect of heparins is an anticoagulant activity (anti-Xa and anti-IIa) acting in an indirect manner (cofactor of antithrombin) but which is carried by only 20% at best of the glycan chains composing any commercial preparation of heparin, whether unfractionated or low molecular weight.

3 This also has clinical implications: in the era of generics and biosimilars where biosimilar heparins begin to appear, it is important to know that accordingly to FDA and EMEA rules: their biosimilarity is judged only on the "classical" anticoagulation effect cofactor of antithrombin (anti-IIa/anti-Xa) but that all glycan effects that are potentially beneficial or potentially deleterious are not taken into consideration in their assessment.
