Cardiovascular Disease Flashcards
Active efflux of clopidogrel is thru what?
ABCB1
Degradation of clopidogrel is by what?
Intestinal esterases
How is clopidogrel activated?
Activated to active metabolite via 2 steps
- CYP2C19
- Possibly PON1
What is the target site of clopidogrel?
P2Y12, located on platelets
What is the role of CYP2C19 in the metabolic activation of clopidogrel?
It occurs in both steps of metabolic activation
What are the genetic variations of CYP2C19?
Loss of function alleles (*2 and *3)
Gain of function allele (*17)
In what ancestry flow is there an increase of both intermediate CYP2C19 alleles and poor metabolizers?
Caucasian to AA to Asian
CYP2C19*3 is exclusively in what population?
Asian
What have studies show about the significance of CYP2C19 LOF and GOF alleles?
Increased odds of cardiac events and stent thrombosis
*17 has not shown any regard to efficacy, just increased bleeding risk
PON1 has been shown to be a critical enzyme in activating clopidogrel, what have follow-up studies show?
Failed to replicate any impact on outcome or surrogate clinical markers
What are some factors that can contribute to responses to clopidogrel?
- Diet
- ABCB1/CYP2C19 polymorphism and PON1
- Smoking
- Drug-drug interactions (notably PPIs)
- Intrinsic variation in platelet function
For poor metabolizers of CYP2C19, what must FDA require?
Black box warning regarding diminished effect of clopidogrel
For intermediate metabolizers of CYP2C19, what must FDA require?
They dont address it like poor metabolizers
Why should known CYP2C19 poor and intermediate metabolizers switch from clopidogrel to prasugrel/ticagrelor?
Likelihood of Tx failure
How does warfarin work?
Works thru negative effect on Vit. K epoxide reductase which decreases production of clotting factors (2,7,9,10)
(R or S)-warfarin is more potent
S
(R or S)-warfarin is metabolized via CYP2C9
S
