Mechanism of Action of Heparin Topical
Heparin excerts it`s action through affecting conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin mediated by factors Xa as well as IIa. It acts by activating plasma antithrombin III (AT III). The heparin-AT III complex then binds to and inactivates clotting factors ;.( Xa, IIa, IXa, XIa, and XIIIa) of the intrinsic and common pathways but not factor VIIa operative in the extrinsic pathway. At lower concentrations it selectively inhibits factor Xa mediated conversion of Prothrombin to thrombin. At lower concentrations it inhibits intrinsic pathway of coagulation but at higher concentration it also interfere with common pathway. At higher doses it prevents platelet aggregation.
