* Cangrelor (Kengreal®
• Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Inhibitors/Antagonists

- Tirofiban (Aggrastat®)
ASA Mechanism of action
inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversible inhibition of platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) enzyme, thereby preventing the formation of thromboxane A2, which is a potent platelet aggregate and potent vasoconstrictor
The effects of preventing platelet aggregation last for the
lifetime of the platelet
(7-10 days) since ASA produces irreversible inhibition of platelet cyclooxygenase-1
Aspirin absorption
•
Rapidly absorbed in stomach & upper intestine
• Rapidly cleared from the body (t1/2 =______) but the effects of aspirin on platelets are irreversible and last for the life of the
20 min; platelet (7-10 days)
Non-enteric coated plasma levels peak 30 to 40 minutes
Inhibition of platelet function occurs within 1 hour
• Enteric coated plasma levels peak 3 - 4 hours
ASA should be stop about
7-10 days
in general you dont have to
Dipyridamole
• Is both_____and _________
a vasodilator and antiplatelet agent
Mechanism of action of dipyridamole (1)
- Dipyridamole inhibits cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, the enzyme that degrades cyclic adenosine monophosphate to 5′-AMP, resulting in the intraplatelet accumulation of cyclic AMP, which
inhibits platelet aggregation
Mechanism of action of dipyridamole (2)
- Dipyridamole inhibits the uptake of adenosine into platelets and endothelial cells, which results in an increase in local adenosine concentrations that acts on platelet adenosine A2 receptors thereby stimulating platelet adenylyl cyclase which increases platelet cAMP
levels & cAMP inhibits platelet aggregation
cyclic aMP tells platelets
non-adhere
Stop dipyridamole
• Discontinue 24 hours prior to surgery
Ticlopidine (Ticlid®)
• Thienopyridine Class Antiplatelet Agent
Ticlopidine (Ticlid®)
• Mechanism of action
The active metabolite then binds irreversibly to P2Y12 receptors on the surface of platelets and inhibits ADP induced platelet aggregation and activation
• Inhibits platelet function for the life span of the platelet (7-10 days)
Ticlid
• Is a prodrug that requires the liver for metabolic
KNOw FOR BOARDS • Hold 10 days prior to surgery and hold 14 days prior to placement of neuraxial anesthesia
KNonw for boards
Clinical use has all but been eliminated due to newer agents and due to ticlopidine’s risk of ____
causing severe neutropenia (ANC <
500/µL) and thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpuria (TTP)
Thienopyridine Class Antiplatelet Agent one agent
Clopidogrel
Mechanism of action of Clopidogrel
Is a prodrug that requires several liver CYP 450 enzymes for a 2-step metabolic conversion into its active metabolite. The active metabolite then binds irreversibly to P2Y12 receptors on the surface of platelets and inhibits ADP induced platelet aggregation and activation
Clopidogrel –>Inhibits platelet function for the life span of the platelet_______
(7-10 days)
For clopidogrel: Concomitant use of drugs that inhibit the CYP 450 enzymes used to metabolize clopidogrel to its active metabolite results in_______ plasma concentrations of the active metabolite of clopidogrel and a reduction in platelet inhibition
reduced
Clopidogrel, stop -_______ piror to surgery or elective surgery
7 days
Prasugrel (effient)
Is a more potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation than
clopidogrel and achieves more consistent and complete
inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation. The trade off for this potent inhibition is a greater risk of bleeding from prasugrel compared to clopidogrel!
**Contraindications for PRASUGREL (EFFIENT)
• Any previous TIA or stroke (higher mortality)
