Antiplatelets Flashcards
How are Abciximab (Reopro), Eptifibatide (Integrillin), and Tirofiban (Aggrastat) administered? A. IV B. SC C. IM D. orally
A. IV administration
Adverse effects of dipyridamole + aspirin (Aggrenox)
Increased bleeding effects headache dizziness VASODILATION HYPOTENSION GI discomfort
What is the MOA of Abciximab (Reopro), Eptifibatide (Integrillin), and Tirofiban (Aggrastat)?
bind to GPIIb/IIIa receptor & prevent FIBRINOGEN binding
Cangrelor is a ________________.
A. PAR-1 inhibitor
B. P2Y12 inhibitor
C. Thromboxane receptor inhibitor
B
What is the MOA of aspirin?
It inhibits COX-1 (and COX-2 also –> nonselective) by irreversibly acetylating serine AA residue near the active site which prevents PG synthesis from activating TXA2 formation (which normally activates platelets)
So it inhibits platelet activation
What are the therapeutic doses of aspirin for anti-platelet activity?
75-325 mg
What is the peak effect time for aspirin?
1-3 h
How long does aspirin inhibit platelets?
for the life of the platelet (5-7 days)
What are adverse effects of aspirin?
bleeding risk
GI irritation of mucosal lining (inhibition of local COX-1)
Hypersensitivity (rare)
Interactions with other nonselective NSAIDs
What are drug interactions with aspirin?
Ibuprofen (cleared slower than aspirin and binds to the same site but doesn’t have anti-platelet effect)
Which of the following are P2Y12 Receptor antagonists? A. Ticlopiline (Ticlid) B. Aggrenox (Dipyridamol + aspirin) C. Cilostazol (Pletal) D. Tirofiban (Aggrastat) E. Clopidogrel (Plavix)
A,E
What is the MOA of P2Y12 Receptor antagonists?
they block ADP binding to P2Y12 receptor and cause an increase in cAMP and PKA activity –> decreases GP …..
[SATA] which of the following block platelet activation? A. ASA B. Clopidogrel C. Ticagrelor D. Cilostazol E. Eptifibatide
A. ASA
B. Clopidogrel
C. Ticagrelor
D. Cilostazol
What is the half-life of Aggrenox? A. 2 h B. 10 h C. 7 h D. 30 min
B. 10 h
What is the half-life of Clopidogrel? A. 2 h B. 10 h C. 7 h D. 30 min
D. 30 min
What is the half-life of Prasugrel? A. 2 h B. 10 h C. 7 h D. 30 min
C. ~ 7 hours (2-15 hours)
