Protein G. This vitamin K-dependent glycoproteia serine protease zymogen is produced ia the Hver. It is an anticoagulant with species specificity (19—21). Proteia C is activated to Proteia by thrombomodulin, a proteia that resides on the surface of endothefial cells, plus thrombin ia the presence of calcium. In its active form, Proteia selectively iaactivates, by proteolytic degradation. Factors V, Va, VIII, and Villa. In this reaction the efficiency of Proteia is enhanced by complex formation with free Proteia S. la additioa, Proteia activates tissue plasminogen activator, which... 

Deflocculants. Deflocculants (34), dispersants (qv), or anticoagulants are added to slurries to improve dispersion and dispersion stabiHty. Dispersants break up floes in a slurry by lowering van der Waals interparticle forces. Deflocculants adsorb on particle surfaces and prevent the approach of particles either by electrostatic or steric stabilization. Deflocculation by electrostatic stabilization is common in clay slurries, as weU as with ceramic particles dispersed in polar Hquids such as water. 

In addition to the AT-dependent agents discussed above, various direct Xa inhibitors (e.g., tick anticoagulant peptide, antistatin, DX-9065a) are undergoing clinical testing. Unlike fondaparinux, these drugs also inhibit surface-bound Xa within prothrombinase. 

Annexin V is a human placental anticoagulant protein of molecular weight 35kDa that binds to membranes and lipid bilayers containing phosphatidylserine in the presence of free calcium. Annexin V binding to cell surfaces said to result from transmembrane movement of... 

The preseuce of heparin on their surface which exerts an anticoagulant effect. 

There are other type of solutions that are used for peritoneal dialysis, anticoagulant solution, bladder irrigation and certain dermatological solution intended for application to broken surface. 

Chitin and chitosan derivatives have also been studied as blood compatible materials both in vivo and in vitro [520], Anticoagulant activity was greatest with O sulfated N acetyl chitosan, followed by N,0 sulfated chitosan, heparin, and finally sulfated N acetyl chitosan. The lipolytic activity was greatest for N,0 sulfated chitosan followed by heparin. The generally poor performance of chitosan was attributed to polyelectrolyte complexes with free amino groups present on the membrane surface. The O sulfate or acidic group at the 6 position in the hexosamine moiety was identified as the main active site for anticoagulant activity. 

Recently developed blood oxygenators are disposable, used only once, and can be presterilized and coated with anticoagulant (e.g., heparin) when they are constructed. Normally, membranes with high gas permeabilities, such as silicone rubber membranes, are used. In the case of microporous membranes, which are also used widely, the membrane materials themselves are not gas permeable, but gas-liquid interfaces are formed in the pores of the membrane. The blood does not leak from the pores for at least several hours, due to its surface tension. Composite membranes consisting of microporous polypropylene and silicone rubber have also been developed.
