Coagulation Theaputics Flashcards
0
Q
Unfractionated heparin
A
- MOA: combines to antithrombin III -> thrombin, Xa, IXa, XIa, and XIIa
- indication: DVT’s, acute coronary syndrome, anticoagulant ion during heparin, maintaining catheter patency
1
Q
Anticoagulants e.g.
- Heparins (3)
- factor Xa inhibitors (3)
- direct thrombin inhibitors (3)
- K antagonists (1)
A
- Heparins (unfractionated/low mol. Weight)
~ LMWHs: endoxaparin, delteparin, tinzaparin - factor Xa inhibitors (fondaparinux, rivaroxaban, apixaban)
- direct thrombin inhibitors (leporudin, desirudin, argatroban)
- vitamin K antagonists (warfarin)
2
Q
Low molecular weight heparin
A
- Enoxaparin, dalteparin, tinzaparin
- MOA: same as unfractionated
- indications: allows for outpatient DVT Rx
3
Q
UF heparin vs. LMW heparin
A
- UF much wider range of PK/PD effects
- LMW better for outpatient
- both are parenteral only
4
Q
Heparin Black Box Warning
A
- Increased risk of spinal epidermal hematoma with neuraxial anesthesia
5
Q
Parenteral Factor Xa inhibitor
A
- Fondparinux
~ MOA: combines and activates ATIII -> selectively inhibits Xa
~ indication: DVT, PE
6
Q
Oral direct Xa inhibitors
A
- rivaroxaban, apixaban
~ MOA: binds factor Xa’s active site
~ prevention of stroke in Afib and DVT prophylaxis - Sx: acute renal failure
7
Q
Direct thrombin inhibitors MOA and indication
A
- MOA: bind active site of thrombin
- parenteral indication: acute coronary syndrome, treatment of HIT (heparin induced thrombocytopenia)
- oral indication: prevention of stroke in DVT
8
Q
Direct thrombin inhibitor Sx
A
- bleeding
- interaction with dabigatran
9
Q
Warfarin
A
- MOA: inhibits vitamin K (epoxied reductase)
~ inhibits factors in intrinsic path factor (typically about 24 hrs) and protein C at about 9 hours - indication: prevention of stroke in Afib, trt of DVT, PE
- Sx: cat X, bleeding, purple toe syndrome, skin necrosis
- warfarin paradox
- Category X
10
Q
Warfarin monitoring
A
- PT pt/PT control = INR
- target 2.5
- OD: Vitamin K admin, FFP, factors
11
Q
Thrombolytics (streptokinase, recombinant TPA, tenecteplase)
A
- MOA: activates plasmin
~ streptokinase: converts plasminogen
~ TPA et al: fibrin in fresh clot -> conformational change - indication:
~ ischemic stroke (TPA)
~ ST-elevation MI (MI)
~ PE (TPA, streptokinase) - Cind: bleeding risk, STK - previous exposure (anapalaxis)
12
Q
Anti platelet agents classes
A
- cox inhibitors (aspirins)
- adp inhibitors (theinopyradines, ticargrelor)
- GPIIa/IIIb inhibitors (eptifibatide, abciximab, tirofiban)
- phosphodiesterase inhibitor (dipyridamole)
13
Q
Cox inhibor: aspirin MOA and Cind
A
- decrease TXA-2, decreases PLT granule release and aggregation
- contraindication: ASA allergy, Reyes (encephalitis in kids with viral illness)
14
Q
ticlopidine, clopedigrel, prasugrel (theinopyradines)
Ticargrelor
A
- ADP inhibitors
- MOA: prodrugs; inhibition of ADP P2Y12 -> agg inhibition
~ thienos: irreversible
~ ticargrelor: reversible and higher binding affinity - Cind:
~ prasugrel: 75+ y/o
~ ticargrelor: use of > 100g ASA, 3A4 inhibition - Sx:
~ ticlopidine: hemeotoxic not used
~ bleeding: clopedigrel lowest risk
~
