Anticoagulant, Antiplatelet, thromboltic agents 1 Flashcards
Heparin MOA
binds reversibly to Antithrombin-III
accelerates inactivation by AT-III of intrinsic and common pathway
Thrombin, IXa, Xa bind irreversibly to Arg-Ser site on AT-III
what drug has anticoagulant activity both in vitro and in vivo
heparin
heparin has what clinical uses
venous thrombosis
pulmonary embolism
patency of IV cannulas
what anticoagulant can be used in pregnancy
Heparin and low molecular weight heparin (discontinue use 24 hour prior to induction of labor)
what method of administration is contraindicated for heparin use and why
intramuscular
induces painful hematoma
what effect other than anticoagulant does heparin have
lipid clearing effect by activating lipoprotein lipase (cleave TG from VLDL)
how does one monitor heparin
activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
this monitors the common and intrinsic pathway
what are the adverse effects associated with heparin use
bleeding- Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (type 1 non immune mediated and type 2 immune mediated)
osteoporosis (if given for more than 6 months)
treatment of excess hemorrhage due to heparin can be done how
protamine sulfate- the heparin-protamine complex cannot bind to AT-III
administer plasma or blood containing coagulation factors
what is protamine sulfate
heparin-protamine complex cannot bind to AT-III
Heparin use is contraindicated for use in what
bleeding disorder
pre-existing bleeding sites
Enoxaparin, dalteparin, and tinzaparin are examples of what
low molecular weight heparin
low molecular weight heparin have what MOA
higher specificity for enhanced antithrombin III inactivation of Xa
low molecular weight heparin is used for what
prophylaxis and acute deep vain thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, orthopedic abdominal surgery
unstable angina or non-Q-wave MI
how is low molecular heparin administered
sub-cutaneous
how does one monitor low molecular weight heparin
anti-Xa activity
LMW heparin is better than unfractioned heparin why
longer half life
can be used outpatient
lower incidence of thrombocytopenia (less binding to platelet proteins)
predicable response
what does one need to monitor in long term use of unfractioned heparin
platelet count
Fondaparinux MOA
synthetic pentasaccharide binds to ATIII to accelerate only factor Xa inactivation
Fondaparinux is used for what
DVT acute and postoperative
PE
can be used in pregnancy (stope 24 hours b4 labor)
adverse effects of Fondaparinux
bleeding
contraindications of Fondaparinux
active bleeding
severe renal impairment
warfarin MOA
inhibits conversion of vitamin K epoxide reductase
inhibits hepatic synthesis of biologically active vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, protein C and S
biological activity of warfarin requires what
gamma-carboxyglutamyl residues on clotting factors
warfarin is the drug of choice for what
oral anticoagulant
warfarin is used for what
anticoagulant
venous thromboembolism
PE
prothetic heart valves
warfarin only works as an anticoagulant when administered how
in vivo
how is warfarin monitored
INR laboratory standardized quick one-stage prothrombin time
warfarin monitors what coagulation cascade pathway
extrinsic via prothrombin time
the goal for INR is what normally and what in prophylactic for heart valves
normal- 2.0-3.0
prophylactic for heart valves- 2.5-3.0
what adverse reactions are there to warfarin
hemorrhage (more likely to occur if changes in absorption or metabolism of warfarin or vitamin K, alteration occurs in synthesis or catabolism of coagulation factors)
genetic predisposition to warfarin are in what genes
CYP2C9
VKORC1
