Q

aspirin target normal role

A

COX-1 catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to PGH2, in platelets PGH2 is the converted to TxA2, which is an autocrine and paracrine activator of platelet aggregation during hemostasis

Q

aspirin MOA

A

aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX-1 enzyme to reduce formation of TxA2, thus blocking platelets aggregation and decreasing thrombus formation that could lead to ASCVD progression or a related CV event

Q

clopidogrel target normal role

A

P2Y12R are activated by ADP and signal via Gi to activate the fibrinogen receptor (integrin alpha IIb-beta IIIa) that mediates the activation and aggreegation of platelets. this extends and stabilizes the initial platelet adhesion that leads to platelet aggregation, this is a necessary event in the formation of blood clots

Q

propranolol target normal role

A

beta beta 1 and 2 ARs are GPCRs coupled to Gs. normally, activation by NE in heart or Epi in lunc increases cAMP concentration, activates PKA, increases Ca permeability. In cardiomyocytes, this activates troponin C and the actin-myosin system, leading to increased HR (chronotopy) and force of contraction (ionotropy). In bronchiolar SMCs, this deactivates MLCK and myosin, leading to SMC relaxation and bronchodilation.
