Packaging & Storage

  • Packing: In 25kgs fiber drums
  • Storage: Keep container unopened in cool, dry place. Keep away from strong light.
  • Shelf Life: 24 months from date of production

Key Functions

  • Animal studies and clinical studies have shown that hirudin is highly effective in anticoagulant, antithrombotic, and blocking of thrombin-catalyzed activation of blood coagulation factors and platelet response and other bloody phenomena.
  • In addition, it also inhibits thrombin-induced proliferation of fibroblasts and thrombin stimulation of endothelial cells.
  • Compared with heparin, it not only uses less, does not cause hemorrhage, and does not depend on endogenous cofactors; heparin has the risk of causing hemorrhage and antithrombin III during the course of diffuse intravascular coagulation. It is often reduced, which will limit the efficacy of heparin, and the use of blisters will have a better effect.

Product Applications

  • Hirudin is a promising class of anticoagulation and anticonvulsant drugs that can be used to treat various thrombotic disorders, especially venous thrombosis and diffuse vascular coagulation.
  • It can also be used to prevent the formation of arterial thrombosis after surgery, prevent the formation of thrombus after thrombolysis or revascularization, and improve the extracorporeal blood circulation and hemodialysis.
  • In microsurgery, failure is often caused by vascular embolization at the anastomosis, and hirudin can promote wound healing.
  • Studies have also shown that hirudin can also play a role in the treatment of cancer. It can prevent the metastasis of tumor cells and has proven efficacy in tumors such as fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, angiosarcoma, melanoma, and leukemia.
  • Hirudin can also be combined with chemotherapy and radiation therapy to enhance efficacy due to the promotion of blood flow in tumors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Leech Hirudin and its main source?

Leech Hirudin is a naturally occurring peptide extracted from the salivary glands of medicinal leeches. It acts as a highly potent and selective inhibitor of thrombin, making it highly effective for anticoagulant and antithrombotic purposes.

What are the chemical specifications of Leech Hirudin?

Our Leech Hirudin has a CAS number of 113274-56-9. It features an assay of 800 fu/g ≥ 98.0% by UV, and appears as a white or yellowish powder with a characteristic odor and taste.

How does Hirudin compare to traditional Heparin?

Unlike heparin, Hirudin does not rely on endogenous cofactors (such as antithrombin III) to exert its effects, meaning it requires lower dosages and works effectively even when antithrombin levels are depleted. Additionally, it does not induce hemorrhaging risks typical of heparin therapies.

What are the storage guidelines and shelf life for this product?

Leech Hirudin should be kept in its original, unopened container and stored in a cool, dry place. It must be shielded from strong light. Under these conditions, the product maintains a shelf life of 24 months from the production date.
