The present invention provides non-anticoagulant sulfated or sulfonated polysaccharides (NASPs), which accelerate the blood clotting process. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations comprising a NASP of the invention in conjunction with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and, in various embodiments, these formulations are unit dosage formulations. The invention provides a NASP formulation, which is orally bioavailable. Also provided are methods for utilizing the compounds and formulations of the invention to promote blood clotting in vivo as therapeutic and prophylactic agents and in vitro as an aid to studies of the blood clotting process.

Compounds of formula (I), compositions, and methods for treatment and/or prevention of at least one disease, disorder, and/or condition by inhibiting binding of galectin-3 to ligands are disclosed. For example, inhibitors of galectin-3 are described and pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such agent are described.
