Nov23 M1-Pharmacology Antiplatelet Drugs Flashcards
3 drug groups
- inhibit Tx synthesis
- block ADP receptor
- inhibit glycoprotein IIB-IIIA
use of anti-platelet drugs
prevent thrombosis
alter evolution of ats
2 types of granules found in platelets
delta granules (contain ADP) alpha granules
mechanism of primary plug formation
- plts recon vWF and collagen and are activate
- activate plts release ADP, TxA2 and 5HT
- these substances activate platelets and activate an integrin (glycoprot IIB-IIIA) on their surface
- this integrin binds fibrinogen and fibrin
- formation of formalin aggregate
what happens to plts when activated
change shape and have processes
aspirin action
blocks covalently (irreversibly) COX-1 (acetylates serine residue near its active site) so can’t produce TxA2
why aspirin effect irreversible
platelet no nucleus, can’T prod new COX 1
why ASA less effective at higher dose (NSAID dose)
Also inhibits prostacyclin prod (prostacyclin is an endogenous anti platelet)
where ASA absorbed
stomach and upper SI
ASA overdose effect
primary metab pathway saturated. elim becomes order 0 (constant rate no matter dose). significant increase in plasma ASA
aspirin effect on bleeding time
prolonged in all patients
salicylism def + cause
reduce hearing, ringing in ears, dizziness. cause: mild overdose.
aspirin use
secondary prevention of cerebral and cardiac ischemia, MI, …
inhibitors of ADP pathway mechanism
block ADP receptor on platelet surface
inhibitors of ADP pathway: give drugs
clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor
