In vitro antimalarial activity of heparins with different molecular weight. (a) In vitro P. falciparum growth inhibition activity assay of heparin fractions of decreasing chain lengths. (b) Description of the heparin samples tested in panel (a). MMWH: medium molecular weight heparin, LMWH: low molecular weight heparin, ULMWH: ultralow molecular weight heparin. * The approximate number of disaccharide units was calculated considering the molecular weight of the trisulfated disaccharide unit as 590.9 g/mol. IC50 range represents 95% confidence interval of one experiment.
