Anticoag Drugs Flashcards
Phase 1 hemostasis
Vascular constriction limits the flow of blood to the area of injury
Phase 2 hemostasis
Platelets become activated and aggregate at the site of injury, forming a temporary, loose platelet plug (Primary Hemostasis)
Phase 3 hemostasis
A fibrin mesh (also called the clot) forms and entraps the plug (Secondary Hemostasis)
Phase 4 hemostasis
The clot is dissolved in order for normal blood flow to resume following tissue repair.
3 classes of drugs to reduce clotting
antiplatelet
anticoagulants
fibrinolytic
antiplatelet drug types
COX inhibitor
ADP Receptor Antagonists
GPIIb/IIIa Receptor Inhibitors
Adenosine Reuptake Inhibitor
anticoagulants types
indirect thrombin inhibitors
direct thrombin inhibitors
Vitamin K analogue
Factor Xa Inhibitors (oral)
Fibrinolytic drugs types
Tissue Plasminogen Activators
When do we interfere with hemostasis
Treat bleeding disorders due to deficiencies and disease, etc
Prevention and treatment of thrombosis
Acetylsalicylate
aspirin
aspirin mechanism
irreversible inhibitor of COX
Do platelets have COX2?
No
Can platelets make more COX
No
Why don’t other NSAIDs work well as anti-platelet agents?
They are reversible inhibitors
3 As of aspirin
Antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory
Adverse effects of Aspirin
Bleeding
GI disturbances
Tinnitus
Low dose vs high dose aspirin
Low dose, effect on the platelet
High dose, effect on inflammation
ADP Receptor Antagonists
Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, Ticlopidine
Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, Ticlopidine
ADP Receptor Antagonists
ADP receptor antagonist mechanism
Irreversible ADP receptor antagonists that prevent activation of ADP receptor
ADP receptor antagonist route
oral
ADP receptor antagonists use
Used during stenting and recommended for patients that don’t tolerate aspirin
Adverse Effects ADP Rec Antagonists
BLEEDING, nausea, diarrhea, rash (10-50% of patients)
severe leukopenia (1% of patients)
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) – very rare (ticlopidine)
_____ and ______ have fewer side effects than ______ (ADP rec ant)
Clopidogrel and Prasugrel have fewer side effects than Ticlopidine
Clopidogrel may require activation via ________ so drugs that impair this isoform should be used with caution
CYP2C19 (ie. omeprazole)
ADP Receptor antagonists reversible?
NO, but new drugs are coming out that are reversible (Ticagrelor, Cangrelor)
GPIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors mechanism
Prevent binding of adhesive glycoproteins such as fibrinogen and vWF to activated platelets
Inhibits the final common pathway for platelet aggregation
GPIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors
Abciximab
Eptifibatide
Tirofiban
(fib binds where fibrinogen binds, + abciximab)
Abciximab
humanized MAB against GPIIb/IIIa
Eptifibatide
fibrinogen analogue
Tirofiban
non-peptide competitive inhibitor
GPIIb/IIIa receptor inh route, uses
IV with aspirin and heparin during angioplasty, for acute coronary syndromes
AE GPIIb/IIIa rec inh
Bleeding
Thrombocytopenia (chronic use)
Dipyridamole mechanism
Inc. cAMP and inhibit platelet activation
(PDE3 inhibitor - block breakdown into 5’AMP)
(Inhibit platelet uptake of adenosine –> more adenosine at Adenosine A2 receptor –> Inc. cAMP)
Also a vasodilator
Dipyridamole AE
