Coagulation Flashcards
What are COX inhibitors?
Include aspirin
- In platelets:
* acetylates serine residues the COX-1 enzyme
- irreversible inactivation
- —> ⬇️ TxA2
- In endothelial cells:
* inhibit COX levels
- doesn’t affect PGI2 production except in ⬆️ doses —> by ⬆️ it
What does is eff for aspirin?
Effective as antiplatelet agent at low dose of 80 mg.
What are the indications of aspirin use?
- T of acute coronary syndromes, ischemic stroke, and transient ischemic attack
- 1ry P of chronic CAD
- P of arterial thrombosis in AF patients
What are the AE of aspirin?
- GI irritation
- Bleeding
- Airway hyper-reactivity
What are PDE inhibitors ?
Include Dipyridamole
- prevent cAMP breakdown by PDE ( phosphodiesterase ) —> PKA activation and ⬇️ platlets aggregation
- cAMP levels are regulated by
1. TxA2 —> ⬇️cAMP
2. PGI2 —> ⬆️cAMP
What are indications of PDE inhibitors?
- P of thromboembolism in patients with cardiac valve in comb with aspirin or warfarin bcz they ⬆️ it’s potency
- D of CAD —> stress ECG test
What are the AE of dipyridamole?
- GI distubance
- Headache bcz of its vasodilator effects
- Induction of angina in CAD
What are ADP antagonists?
Include
- Clopidogrel
- Prasugrel
- Ticlopedine
- Ticogrelor
- Cangrelor
- irreversible ( like aspirin ) inhibitors of P2Y1 & P2Y12 ( ADP receptors ) —> ⬆️cAMP levels —> 🚫 of platelet aggregation
Why is clopidogrel proffered to ticlopidine ?
- Rapid onset of action
- More potent
- superior dosing profile
- ⬆️ safety
Why are ticogrelor and prasugrel preferred to ticlopidine and clopidogrel?
- More rapid onset of action
- ⬆️ inhibition
- More predictable 🚫 of ADP-induced platelet aggregation
Win acute coronary syndrome, which ADP antagonist have ⬆️ reduction of CV death, MI, and stroke ?
Ticogrelor
Prasugrel have similar reduction but at ⬆️ rates of bleeding and death—> contraindicated in TIA or stroke
What are the indications of ADP antagonists?
P of
1. Arterial thromboembolism in patients w/:
A. ACS: unstable angina and MI
B. history of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack
- Coronary stent thrombosis after PCI
What are the AE of ADP Antagonists?
- GI disturbance
- rash
- bleeding
- neutropenia
Mainly TICLOPIDINE
What are Gb 2b/3a receptor antagonists?
They include:
- Eptifibatide
- Tirofiban
- Abciximab
- prevent fibrinogen interaction with Gb2b/3a and bridging of platlets to one another
What are the signaling molecules that induce Gb2b/3a expression?
TxA2 ADP epinephrine thrombin collagen
What are the indications of Gb2b/3a receptor antagonists
T of unstable angina and MI undergoing medical T or PCI —> favor Abciximab
What are the AE of Gb2b/3a receptor antagonists ?
Bleeding
allergic reactions
thrombocytopenia
What are PAR-1 ( protease activated receptor 1 ) antagonist ?
Include vorapaxar
- Inhibit PAR-1, the major thrombin receptor on platelets —> inhibit platelet activation and aggregation
- orally
- slowly eliminated t1/2 is 200 hrs
What are the indications of PAR-1 antagonist?
- 2ry P of MI
- P of stroke
- Prop of thrombosis in patients with previous MI or PAD
What are the AE of PAR-1?
Intracranial bleeding
What are the INDIRECT thrombin inhibitors?
Include heparin and fondaparinux
What is heparin?
sulfated mucopolysaccharide
Have 2 categories:
1. UnF-heparin ( 5-30 kDa )
2.LMWT heparin (1-5 kDa )ex: dalteparin / enoxaparin / tinzaparin / ardeparin
—> have ⬆️⬆️ therapeutic index
- Act as a catalyst for the binding of antithrombin III (AT-III) to thrombin or factors IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa ( 9,10,11,12 )
- LMWH heparins catalyze the inactivation of factor Xa by AT-III, but are less efficient in catalyzing the inactivation of thrombin ( are thought to bind only to antithrombin III (ATIII) and not to thrombin )
- Unfractionated heparins can catalyze the inactivation of factor Xa and thrombin by AT-III.
How can we administer UnF+heparin and LMWT heparin?
Subcutaneously or intravenously and in small doses
