Aspirin (Unit IV) MOA
Irreversible inhibition of platelet COX
Ticlopidine (Ticlid) MOA
Inhibits platelet aggregation by ADP; reduces blood viscosity by decreasing plasma fibrinogen and increasing RBC deformability
Clopidogrel (Plavix) MOA
Selectively and irreversibly inhibits ADP binding to P2Y12 (blocks ADP-dependent activation of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex)
Prasugrel (Effient) MOA
Irreversibly binds P2Y12 receptor (G protein-coupled chemoreceptor for ADP)
Dipyradimole (Persantine) MOA
Increases platelet intracellular cAMP (inhibits phosphodiesterase 5, activates adenylate cyclase, inhibits uptake of adenosine from vascular endothelium and RBCs)
ACE inhibitors MOA
Blocks endothelial ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (potent vasoconstrictor); as a side effect, also prevents breakdown of bradykinin (potent vasodilator)
Metoprolol, propranolol, bisoprolol MOA
Decrease contractility, HR (reduced myocardial O2 demand); class II antiarrhythmics (inhibit sympathetic influence on cardiac electrical activity, increase AP duration and effective refractory period in AV node)
Nitrates MOA
Endothelium independent vasodilator; endothelial effects (inhibits platelet aggregation, inhibits leukocyte-endothelial interactions (anti-inflammatory))
Nefedipine (Procardia) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes dilation of epicardial coronary arteries, arteriolar resistance arteries; less heart-specific activity, but more than 1st generation
Amlodipine (Norvasc) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes dilation of epicardial coronary arteries, arteriolar resistance arteries; less heart-specific activity
Felodipine (Plendil) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes dilation of epicardial coronary arteries, arteriolar resistance arteries; less heart-specific activity
Verapamil (Calan) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes decreased contractility, firing rate of aberrant pacemaker sites, and conduction velocity; prolongs repolarization in SA node and AV node (–> decreases HR); less vasodilation
Diltiazem (Cardizem) MOA
Interact with L-type voltage gated plasma membrane Ca channel –> decreased calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cell, preventing contraction; causes decreased contractility, firing rate of aberrant pacemaker sites, and conduction velocity; prolongs repolarization in SA node and AV node (–> decreases HR); less vasodilation
Aspirin (Unit IV) Therapy
Reduction in adverse events (MI, CVA, death); for those w/stable angina, unstable angina, acute MI, prophylaxis
