1 Pentosan polysulfate
UNII 914032762Y - PENTOSAN POLYSULFATE SODIUM

The hypothetic mechanism of action of pentosan polysulfate includes a local effect in the bladder after systemic administration and excretion into the urine by binding of glycosaminoglycans to the deficient mucous of the bladder. It is hypothesized, that a potential barrier function of pentosan polysulfate instead of the damaged urothelial mucus might play a role as well the antiinflammatory activity of pentosan polysulfate sodium.
