21 Therapeutic Modalities in Hematology Flashcards
Irreversibly binds COX-1 and COX-2
Aspirin
Antiplatelet drugs
Aspirin
Thienopyridines
Dipyridamole
Abeiximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban
Inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation
SE: bleeding
Thienopyridines
Prodrugs that require metabolic activation by the hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme system
Clopidogrel
Prasugrel
Indication of thienopyridines
Oral, Prasugrel for patients undergoing stenting
Inhibits PDE, increases cAMP, reduce Ca ions leading to inhibition of activation
SE: vasodilation
Dipyridamole
GpIIb/IIIa inhibitor
SE thrombocytopenia, bleeding
Abeiximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban
Administration of Abeiximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban
IV bolus then infusion
Fab fragment of a humanized murine monoclonal AB directed against the activated form of GpIIb/IIIa
Binds to the activated receptor with high affinity and blocks the binding of adhesive molecules
Abciximab
Cyclic heptatide that bind GpIIb/IIIa because it incorporates the KGD motif
Eptifibatide
Anonpeptidic tyrosine derivative that acts as an RGD mimetic
Tirofiban
Anticoagulant drugs
Heparin Low molecular weight heparin Fondaparinux Lepirudin, argatroban, bivalrudin Vitamin K antagonist (warfarin)
Activates antithrombin III
IV or SC, monitored via PTT
SE: Bleeding, thrombocytopenia
Heparin
Activates antithrombin III
SC or IV, high bioavailability, monitored by anti FXa levels
SE: bleeding
Low risk of thrombocytopenia
Low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin)
Synthetic analogue of ATIII activating sequence Binds and activates antithrombin III SC, high bioavailability SE: bleeding Does not cause HIT
Fondaparinux
Direct thrombin inhibitor
IV infusion, monitored via PTT
SE: bleeding
Lepirudin
Argatroban
Bivalirudin
Inhibits carboxylation of vitamin K dependent clotting factors
Oral, metabolized by CYP450 system, narrow therapeutic window, monitored by INR and PT
SE: Bleeding, skin necrosis, embryopathy
Warfarin
Drugs that attack diseases more precisely via specific unique pathways and cell surface markers
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy drugs
Gemtuzumab + ozogamicin
Denileukin + diptheria toxin
Ibritumomab + 90Y
