Q

what happens during platelet adhesion and shape change?

A

injury exposes collage (which binds to GP Ia)
vWF bridges collagen and GP Ib (thus allowing the platelet to attach to injury site)
shape change allows for a structure that enhance interaction with other platelets

Q

what happens in platelet secretion?

A

platelets degranulate to release granules containing ADP, TXA2, and 5-HT
signaling molecules recruit and activate nearby platelets

7
Q

what happens in platelet aggregation?

A

ADP, TXA2, and 5-HT activation of nearby platelets induce conformation of GPIIb/IIIAa receptors to bind fibrinogen
fibrinogen cross-links the platelet to form temporary plug
contract of platelets form irreversible fused mass
fibrinogen is converted into fibrin which stabilizes and anchors platelet together
surface for clot formation is formed

Q

what is the role of fibrinogen?

A

cross-links platelets together to form plug
once completed, it is converted into fibrin in the coag cascade to form clot

Q

why is a small dose of aspirin every day preferred?

Q

what drugs are P2Y12 receptor antagonists?

A

clopidogrel
prasugrel
ticagrelor
ticlopidine
cangrelor

22
Q

what makes clopidogrel unique?

A

pro-drug, addition of SH group
activated by CYP2C19
lower toxicity profile

23
Q

what is TTP?

A

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
decreases proteolytic activity (which cleaves vWF) causing spurious and excessive platelet aggregation
may be fatal

23
Q

what makes ticlopidine unique?

A

may induce TTP

24
what makes prasugrel unique?
pro-drug, addition of SH group also indicated for percutaneous coronary intervention requires esterases and CYP3A4/2B6 to be come active high risk of bleeding
25
when is prasugrel not recommended?
in elderly before CABG due to high risk of bleeding
26
what makes ticagrelor unique?
direct acting so does not require bioactivation by enzymes CYP3A4 substrate fast onset of action (7 to 9 hr half life) risk of bleeding
27
when should ticagrelor not be used?
immediately before CABG
28
what makes cangrelor unique?
direct acting reversible short half life --> 3 to 5 minutes
29
what is the MOA of GPIIb/IIa receptor inhibitors?
inhibits fibrinogen crosslinking of platelets
30
what drugs are GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists?
abciximab eptifibatide tirofiban

33
what is the duration of action for abciximab?

34
what is the indication for eptifibatide?

37
what is the indication for tirofiban?
combination therapy with heparin to treat acute coronary syndrome
38
what is unique about tirofiban?

39
what is the duration of action for tirofiban?
2 hour half life
40
what is the MOA of PDE inhibitor?
inhibition of phosphodiesterase to inhibit platelet aggregation
41
what is the indication of dipyridamole?
combined with warfarin to prevent embolization from prosthetic heart valves combined with aspirin to prevent cerebrovascular ischemia
42
what does the structure of dipyridamole look like?
two middle 6-membered N rings with 4 outward rings attached
43
what is the indication for cilostazol?
intermittent claudication (leg pain)
44
what does the structure of cilostazol look like?
far left has N 5-member ring structure
45
what is the MOA of vorapaxar
reversible proteolytic cleavage of PAR-1 receptors on platelet surface
46
what class of drug is vorapaxar?
protease activated receptor (PAR) inhibitor
47
what is PAR-1 receptors coupled with?
GPCRs coupled to calcium which is used for thrombin
48
what is the indication of vorapaxar?
combo therapy with aspirin or clopidogren in prophylactic prevention of thrombosis in patients with previous MI or peripheral arterial disease
49
what is vorapaxar's duration of action?
3 to 4 days with effect persisting after d/c
50
what is unique about vorapaxar?
it should be avoided combination with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (mycins, virs) or inducers (rifampin)
