Fondaparinux sodium

Fondaparinux Sodium is the sodium salt form of fondaparinux, a synthetic glucopyranoside with antithrombotic activity. Fondaparinux sodium selectively binds to antithrombin III, thereby potentiating the innate neutralization of activated factor X (Factor Xa) by antithrombin. Neutralization of Factor Xa inhibits its activity and interrupts the blood coagulation cascade, thereby preventing thrombin formation and thrombus development. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Antithrombotic agents and Carbohydrates. Its therapeutic use is listed as anticoagulants, cardiovascular and hematologic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Arixtra, Quixidar and Xantidar. Its PubChem CID is 636380.
