“…The chitosan has a similar close structure like heparin (Heise et al, 2018). Based on this feature, many chitosan derivatives as anticoagulants have been synthesized (Vongchan et al, 2002, Vonghan et al, 2003, Vikhoreva et al, 2005, Huang et al, 2003, Xiong et al, 2011, Baumann and Faust, 2001, Shagdarova et al, 2016, Subhapradha et al, 2013, Yang et al, 2013, Drozd et al, 2019, Song et al, 2018, Ouerghemmi et al, 2018, Drozd et al, 2017, Skorik et al, 2017, Park et al, 2004, Ragab et al, 2018). Recently (Heise et al, 2018), it has been stated that incorporation of the sulfate groups in the structure of chitosan improve its compatibility with blood and increase its anticoagulation effects by its complexing ability with the blood.…”
