The invention provides novel orally active salts of the formula ##STR1## in which .circle. is the skeleton of a polyol, n is the number of OH's in the polyol (3 to 24); p is .gtoreq.3 and .ltoreq.n; r is the available valence of the heparin unit and .gtoreq.3 and .ltoreq.7; sr is equal to pv; and R.sup.+ is ##STR2## in which R.sup.iv is C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl; R' and R" are C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl, the same or different, or combined so that --NR'R" represents the residue of a saturated monocyclic secondary amine; R"' is identical to the corresponding portion of a natural amino acid; the alkylene groups contain 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and R.sup.v is H, --CONH.sub.2 or --COO(C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl). The salts are stable lipoidal "ion pairs" or complexes which can be absorbed through the gastrointestional wall and which slowly release heparinic acid to achieve long-lasting anticoagulant activity. Novel quaternary salts which are intermediates to the heparin salts of the invention are also disclosed.
A salt of the structural formula ##STR255## wherein .circle. is the skeleton of a polyol, said polyol being a monosaccharide selected from the group consisting of pentoses, hexoses and heptoses, an oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of disaccharides, trisaccharides and cyclodextrins, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.15 aliphatic polyhydroxy compound of a C.sub.5 -C.sub.18 alicyclic polyhydroxy compound, said skeleton being the portion of said polyol remaining after removal of all hydroxy substituents therefrom;
A salt of the structural formula ##STR266## wherein .circle. is the skeleton of a polyol, said polyol being a monosaccharide selected from the group consisting of pentoses, hexoses and heptoses, an oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of disaccharides, trisaccharides and cyclodextrins, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.15 aliphatic polyhydroxy compound or a C.sub.5 -C.sub.18 alicyclic polyhydroxy compound, said skeleton being the portion of said polyol remaining after removal of all hydroxy substituents therefrom;
