Exam 4: Drugs 1 Flashcards
Heparin (Unfractionated)
Indirect thrombin inhibitor; interacts with BOTH antithrombin and Xa
Produces more antithrombin = blocking thrombin from being produced
Reversal for heparin
Protamine sulfate
3 Indirect Thrombin Inhibitors
- Heparin
- LMW Heparin
- Fondapurinux
LMW Heparin
More purified; more specific for Xa
-parin drugs
Protamine sulfate = less effective
Fondapurinux
Pentasaccharide (same found in heparin)
Only activates antithrombin
No effect from protamine sulfate
2 Direct thrombin inhibitors
- Lepirudin (Hirudin)
- Argatroban (Pradaxa)
Indirect thrombin inhibitors MOA
Work on proteins that activate thrombin; usually Xa and antithrombin
Direct Thrombin inhibitors MOA
Bind to active sites on thrombin itself to prevent fibrin clot from forming
Lepirudin (Hirudin)
Produced from leeches and recombinant; prevents compartment syndrome
Argatroban/Dabigatran (Pradaxa)
produced from biological sources
3 Coumarin anticoagulants
- Warfarin (Coumadin)
- Ribaroxaban (Xarelto)
- Apixaban (Eliquis)
Warfarin
Oral anticoag; blocks vitamin K reductase = preventing gamma carboxylation of glutamate residues
Which clotting factors does warfarin block?
2, 7, 9, 10
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and Apixaban (eliquis)
Block vitamin K reductase; specific for Xa; less problems w/ bleeding out
No reversal
3 fibrinolytics
- tPA
- Streptokinase
- Urokinase
tPA
tissue plasminogen activators; produced in spot of damage
Streptokinase
synthesized by streptococci
Urokinase
synthesized by kidney
Fibrinolytics
Encourage plasmin formation from plasminogen = lyses thrombi
3 antiplatelets
- ASA
- Clopidogrel (Plavix)
- Abciximab
Aspirin
COX 1 selective; prevents activation of arachidonic acid cascade = less TXA2 produced
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
irreversibly inhibits ADP receptor on plts; reduces plt aggregation
used w/ angioplasty/stent placements
Abciximab
target IIb/IIIa glycoproteins that cause plt aggregation; blocks receptors and block aggregation
3 drugs used in bleeding disorders
- Vitamin K
- FFP
- Desmopressin
2 fibrinolytic inhibitors
- Aminocaproic acid
- Tranexamic acid (TXA2)
4 types of insulin
- Rapid-acting
- Short-acting (regular)
- Intermediate-acting
- Long acting
3 rapid-acting insulin drugs
- Lispro
- Aspart.
- Glulisine
2 short-acting insulin drugs
- Novolin
- Humulin
1 intermediate acting insulin drug
- Neutral protamine hagedorn
2 long-acting insulin drugs
- Glargine
- Detemir
Biguanides (1 drug)
2 guanines joined end to end
Metformin
Metformin
First line therapy for non-insulin dependent DM
