We describe heparin/diazeniumdiolate conjugates that generate nitric oxide (NO) at physiological pH. Like the heparin from which they were prepared, they inhibit thrombin-induced blood coagulation. Unlike heparin, they can also inhibit and reverse ADP-induced platelet aggregation (as expected for an NO-releasing agent), suggesting potential utility as dual-action antithrombotics.
