Hem-Onc - Anti-Platelet Flashcards
Aspirin (ASA): Mech
Irreversibly inhibits COX (Cox-1 and COX-2) enzyme by covalent acetylation.
Platelets cannot synthesize new enzyme, so effect lasts until new platelets are produced
Increases Bleeding Time, Decreases TXA2 and prostaglandins.
No effect on PT or PTT
Aspirin: uses
Antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet (decreases aggregation)
Aspirin: tox
Gastric ulceration, tinnitus (CN VIII).
Chronic use can lead to acute renal failure, interstitial nephritis, and upper GI bleeding. Reye syndrome in children with viral infection. Overdose causes respiratory alkalosis initially, which is then superimposed by metabolic acidosis.
Fevers often occur after ASA overdose (because uncoupling agent - increased perm of mitochondrial membrane, decreased proton gradient, increased O2 consumption –> produces heat
ADP Receptor Inhibitors:
Clopidrogrel, Ticlopidine, Rasugrel, Ticagrelor
Clopidogrel: mech
Inhibit platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptors. Inhibits fibrinogen binding by preventing glycoprotein IIb/IIIa from binding fibrinogen.
Clopidogrel: uses
Acute coronary syndrome; coronary stenting.
Decreased incidence or recurrence of thrombotic stroke.
Clopidogrel: tox
TTP/HUS may be seen
Ticlopidine: mech
Inhibit platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptors. Inhibit fibrinogen binding by preventing glycoprotein IIb/IIIa from binding to fibrinogen
Ticlopidine: uses
Acute coronary syndrome; coronary stenting.
Decreased incidence or recurrence of thrombotic stroke.
Ticlopidine: tox
Neutropenia (ticlopidine). TTP/HUS may be seen
Prasugrel: mech
Inhibit platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptors. Inhibit fibrinogen binding by preventing glycoprotein IIb/IIIa from binding to fibrinogen.
Prasugrel: uses
Acute coronary syndrome; coronary stenting.
Decreased incidence or recurrence of thrombotic stroke.
Prasugrel: tox
TTP/HUS may be seen
Ticagrelor: mech
Inhibit platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking ADP receptors. Inhibit fibrinogen binding by preventing glycoprotein IIb/IIIa from binding fibrinogen.
Ticagrelor: uses
Acute coronary syndrome; coronary stenting.
Decreased incidence or recurrence of thrombotic stroke.
