Summary

The story of heparin began in 1880, with a report by German researcher Adolf Schmidt-Mulheim describing the possibility that mammals harbor indigenous anticoagulants. In 1905, Paul Morawitz reviewed peptone shock research and concluded that the analytical methods available did not enable precise characterization of the anticoagulant. This remained the case until another decade, when further progress was made by William Henry Howell and Jay McLean [1].
