Heparin
A natural anticoagulant discovered in 1916 at Johns Hopkins by Jay McLean, a second-year medical student who was actually looking for substances that promote clotting; purified in the 1930s, it is still essential to prevent and treat thrombosis. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.
Did you know?Its name comes from the Greek hepar, liver, because it was first extracted from dog liver; today, however, it is obtained mainly from pig intestinal mucosa.
