NCIt definition : A synthetic sulfated bis(lactobionic acid amide) derivative and heparin analogue with
anticoagulant activity. Aprosulate is made up of two fully sulfated lactobionic acid
moieties with a diamine spacer via two amide bonds. This agent inhibits thrombin by
antagonizing heparin cofactor II (HCII) and thus prevents thrombin-induced platelet
aggregation. It prolongs clotting time.;
