Anticoagulants Flashcards
heparin sulfate
Indirect Thrombin Inhibitor
Catalyzes antithrombin activity
Linear polysaccharide so has to be give parenterally
Pentasaccharid structure is active
Binds antithrombin, causes conformational change that results in activation through increase in flexibility of REACTIVE SITE LOOP
Inhibits
IIA
IXA
XA
Source: Extracted from poricne/bovine sources
Mixture of smaller molecular weight fragments
Can be toned down to low molecular weight heparin (<7,000 MW)
INDICATION:
- DVT or PE
- Useful in prophylaxis of venous thrombosis and in cases of DIC
Toxicity:
Bleeding, allergy, thrombosis, and osteoporosis
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (systemic hypercoaguable state that occurs in UFH for a 7 days
Never administer IM (hematoma)
Requires close monitoring (PTT)
Reversal initiated by protamine sulfate
Removed from blood by:
- Saturable: Reticuloendothelial system
- Non-Saturable: RENAL
rivaroxaban
Anticoagulant
New
Oral administer
Factor Xa Inhibitor
No monitoring needed
Short half-life
NO GOOD REVERSAL
Maximum inh. of factor Xa occurs four hours after dose
Once daily dose
Liver, Renal, and Fecal biliary clearance
warfarin
Anticoagulant
Blocks vitamin K dependent factors
II, VII, IX, X, Factor C and s
Inhibits vitamin K metabolism, disrupts POSTTRANSLATIONAL gamma-carboxylation of glutamate residues
Partially inhibits synthesis, not degradation
- Makes it depend on factor half life for effectiveness
Increased INR: 2 to 3
Patients who start warfarin are put on heparin for “warfarization
Due to levels of protein C and S dropping faster than proclotting factors
Toxicity:
- bleeding
- skin necrosis
- teratogenesis
- thrombosis
Interacts with numerous other drugs, diets, disease states
Cleared by:
- Kidney
- Liver
Reversal
- Vit K
- Fresh-frozen plasma
- Recombinant factor VIIa
protamine sulfate
Heparin antagonist
Highly cationic peptide that binds heparin to form a stable ion pair inhibiting function
menadione
Warfarin antidote
