NCIt definition : The sodium salt of a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), obtained by controlled enzymatic
depolymerization of heparin from porcine intestinal mucosa, with antithrombotic properties.
Tinzaparin is a potent inhibitor of several activated coagulation factors, especially
Factors Xa and IIa (thrombin); its primary activity is mediated through the plasma
protease inhibitor antithrombin. In addition, this agent may inhibit angiogenesis
through: 1) competitive binding of the heparin-binding sites on endothelial cells
for the proangiogenic cytokines vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and beta-fibroblast
growth factor (beta-FGF) and 2) increasing the release of tissue factor pathway inhibitor
(TFPI), a negative regulator of angiogenesis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug that is used with another drug, warfarin, to treat blood clots that
form deep in the veins and to prevent new blood clots from forming. It is a type of
anticoagulant.;
