Antiplatelets Flashcards
Drugs used in coagulation disorders
-antiplatelets
-anticoagulants
-thrombolytics
-coagulants
Normal homeostasis
-arrest of bleeding from damages blood vessel
1. vasospasm
2. platelet plug formation
3. fibrin clot formation
4. Fibrinolysis
Coagulation
-process to plug leaking blood vessel
Platelet plug formation
-platelet adherence and aggregation
-thanks to fibrin
Fibrin clot formation
-prothrombin
-thrombin
-fibrogen
-fibrin
Fibrinolysis
-plasminogen
-plasmin
-fibrin
-split products
Artherosclerotic plaque and thrombosis
-deadly duo
-coronary plaque rupture
Platelet Formation
-megakaryocytes
1. granules in cell
2. maturation w centrosomal microtubule array
3. pseudopod formation
4. microtubules slide to power proplatelet ELONGATION granules move toward ends (branching amplifies ends also)
5. Platelets realeased from mother cell until naked nucelus
Platelet structure
-organelles
-secretory granules
-NO NUCLEUS = cant make proteins/cant reproduce
Thrombus Formation
-platelet plug/white thrombitis
-3 step process
-initiated by contact with ECM
1.adhesion and shape change
2. Secretion Reaction
3. Aggregation

:(
- Adhesion (platelet activation)
-mediated by:
-GO 1a binding collagen (detect wall)
-GP 1b binding vonW factor bridged to collagen (detect wall)
-shape change facilitates receptor binding
How do intact endothelial cells inhibit thrombogenesis
-secrete prostacylin (PGI2)
-barrier to ECM
- Platelet Secretion (release reaction)
-degranulation
-platelet granules release ADP, TXA2, 5-HT
Released from platelet granules
-ADP
-Thromboxane A2*
-Serotonin (5-HT)*
-activate and recruit other platelets
-induces change in GPIIb/IIIa receptors to bind fibrinogen
*vasoconstrictors (restrict blood flow)
- Platelet aggregation
-ADP, 5-HT, TXA2 = GPIIb/GPIIIa receptors bind fibrinogen (aka integrinaIIbB3)
-fibrinogen cross links platelets = hemostatic plug
-contract to form IRREVERSIBLY fused mass
-fibrin stabilizes and anchors aggreggated platelets
=surface for clot formation
Fibrinogen
-binds GPIIb/IIIa receptors
-cross-links platelets during aggregation
Fibrin
-stabilizes aggregated platelets
Antiplatelet drugs
-COX-1 inhibitors
-ADP receptor inhibitors
-GPIIb/IIIa BLOCKERS
-Phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitors
-Protease-Activate Receptor inhibitors
-all inhibitors
Cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor
-aspirin
-ring w ketone and carboxyl
Asprin Function
-inhibits COX-1 by acetylation
-interferes w platelet aggregation
-prolongs bleeding
-prevents arterial thrombi formation
-inhibition of TXA2 synthesis in platelets is the key of anti-platelet activity of ASA
Aspirin MOA
-IRREVERSIBLE COX-1 inhibition by acetylation
-permanent loss of COX-1 activity
=dec TXA2
-PGI2 production inhibited in tissue by higher doses
