FA Anticoagulants Flashcards
COX inhibitor
Aspirin
Aspirin MOA
Covalently acetylates platelet and endothelial COX 1 and 2 –> decreases TXA2 and PGI2 synthesis, respectively
No effect on PT or PTT
Aspirin low dose
more specific for COX 1
Aspirin Clinical Use
Antipyretic, Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Platelet (aggregation)
4 Types of Antiplatelet Drugs
COX inhibitors; ADP antagonists; PDE III inhibitors; GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors
Aspirin Toxicity
Gastric ulceration (dose-dependent); tinnitus ("salicylism" -- CN8 -- very high doses) Chronic use: acute renal failure, interstitial nephritis, GI bleeding Reye syndrome in children w/viral infxns
Aspirin Overdose
Initially causes hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis, then transitions to mixed metabolic acidosis and respiratory alkalosis (HCO3 does not change)
ADP Receptor Antagonist Drugs
Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, Ticlopidine, Ticagrelor (reversible)
ADP Receptor Antagonist MOA
Irreversibly block ADP receptors –> indirectly inhibit GpIIb/IIIa expression –> inhibit aggregation
ADP Receptor Antagonist Clinical Use
Acute coronary syndrome, coronary stenting, decrease incidence or recurrence of thrombotic stroke
ADP Receptor Antagonist Toxicity
Neutropenia, TTP (Ticlopidine)
This ADP Receptor Antagonist is NOT a prodrug
Ticagrelor
This ADP Receptor Antagonist is reversible
Ticagrelor
This ADP Receptor Antagonist is metabolized by CYP 3A4
Prasugrel
This ADP Receptor Antagonist is metabolized by CYP 2C19
Clopidogrel
This This ADP Receptor Antagonist is more likely to vary in effectiveness among individuals
Clopidogrel – more polymorphisms for CYP 2C19
PDE III Inhibitor Drugs
Cliostazol, Dipyridamole
PDE III Inhibitor MOA
inhibits Phosphodiesterase III –> increases cAMP in platelets –> inhibits platelet aggregation, causes vasodilation
PDE III Inhibitor Clinical Use
intermittent claudication, coronary vasodilation, angina prophylaxis, stroke/TIA prophylaxis (+aspirin)
PDE III Inhibitor Toxicity
HypOtension, abdominal pain, facial flushing, nausea, headache
GpIIb/IIIa Inhibitor Drugs
TEA: Tirofiban, Eptifibatide, Abciximab
GpIIb/IIIa Inhibitor MOA
binds GpIIb/IIIa, preventing aggregation and fibrinogen cross-linking of platelets
GpIIb/IIIa Inhibitor Clinical Use
Unstable angina, PTCA
GpIIb/IIIa Inhibitor Toxicity
Thrombocytopenia, bleeding
Heparin MOA
Activate ATIII –> decrease F10 and F2
Short half-life
Heparin Clinical Use
Immediate anticoag for PE, acute coronary syndrome, MI, DVT
Okay for pregnancy
Monitor PTT
Heparin Toxicity
HIT (IgG Ab’s to Heparin-PF4 complex –> thrombosis and thrombocytopenia), osteoporosis, bleeding, drug interaxns
Heparin Reversal
protamine sulfate
Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) Drugs
Enoxaparin, Dalteparin, Fondeparinux
