Fondaparinux (Arixtra) is a synthetic anticoagulant based on the pentasaccharide sequence that makes up minimal antithrombin (AT) binding region of heparin. Similar to low molecular weight heparins, it is an indirect inhibitor of factor Xa, but it does not inhibit thrombin at all. Fondaparinux has a longer half-life than heparin and does not interact with platelets, both of which may be advantageous in certain settings. Indications for fondaparinux includedeep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and superficial vein thrombosis.It is the same sequence as UFH and LMWH for the binding to antithrombin, however it has no extra chain and thus, is not considered a heparin product. It is also known to not cause HIT, as seen with UFH and LMWH.
