Aspirin
Platelet (COX-1) Inhibitor, irreversible
NSAID
Platelet inhibitor, reversible:
inhibits TXA-2 dependent platelet function
Dipyridamole (Persantine)
PDE-Inhibitor
ATP --> cAMP --[PDE]--> AMP
Thus, cAMP accumulates, which is platelet inhibitor
Vasodilator & anti-platelet properties
Cilostazole
PDE-Inhibitor
ATP --> cAMP --[PDE]--> AMP
Thus, cAMP accumulates, which is platelet inhibitor
Vasodilator & inhibit platelet aggregation
Used to treat intermitten claudication
The 2 PDE-Inhibitors?
Dipyridamole
Cilostazole
What's a P2Y12 receptor?
ADP binds to it --> it causes platelet aggregation
The 4 P2Y12-Receptor Inhibitors?
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
Presugrel & Ticagrelor (newer ones)
Which P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is dependent on CYP2C19 to get metabolized?
(the other 3 aren't sensitive to CYP2C19)
CLOPIDOGREL

Many people have mutant 2C19 enzyme!
Clopidogrel
P2Y12 receptor inhibitor

- Fastest onset of inhibition of platelets (2 hr w/ high dose, 2 days w/ low dose)
- Metabolized by CYP2C19
- Absorbed orally
Ticlopidine
P2Y12 receptor inhibitor

- Slow onset of effect (2 wk), thus NOT good for acute situations like unstable angina
- May cause neutropenia and TTP
- NOT sensitive to mutations in CYP2C19
Presugrel & Ticagrelor
P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (new one)

- REVERSIBLE inhibition!! (distinct from the older classes, Clopidogrel & Ticlopidine)
- NOT sensitive to mutations in CYP2C19
- ORAL!!
The 3 Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (aIIbB3) antagonists?
Abciximab
Tirofiban
Eptifibatide

- aIIbB3 receptor (in platelets) binds fibrinogen & promote platelet aggregation!
- Given ACUTELY via IV ONLY!!
Abciximab
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (aIIbB3) antagonist (monoclonal antibody)

Goal: reduce number of UNBOUND receptors to <20,000 per platelet! This decreases platelet aggregation enough to prevent thrombus formation

VERY SHORT half-life: <10-30 minutes
Tirofiban
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (aIIbB3) antagonist

- Derivative of tyrosine. inhibits aIIbB3 receptor w/ minimal effects on vitronectin receptors
- May cause severe but reversible thrombocytopenia!
Eptifibatide
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (aIIbB3) antagonist

Synthetic disulfide-linked cyclic hepatapeptide
Bivalrudin
Direct Thrombin Inhibitor

- Directly (-) thrombin activation in circulation
- Half-life: 30 min!! Proteolytically broken down in circulation --> metabolized by liver, cleared by kidney
**ONLY AVAILABLE AS IV**
- Used only if Heparin isn't an option (ie. HITT)
Gold standard for anti-platelet therapy?
Aspirin
Drug of choice for Acute Coronary Syndrome
Aspirin
DTI vs LMW-Heparin
DTI has lower mortality, and further reaching effects!
Drugs of choice (2) for A-Fib
Warfarin or Vitamin K

Prevents cardioembolic strokes
Not DOC, but equal efficacy for treating A-Fib
Oral DTI - equal efficacy to Warfarin (a DOC)
3 Regiments of choice for Transient Ischemic Attacks
HIGH-dose aspirin (but risk of GI effects and intracranial hemorrhage)

LOW-dose aspirin + Dipyridamole

LOW-dose aspirin + ADP-Inhibitor (P2Y12-receptor: Clopidogrel, Ticlopidine, Presugrel, Ticagrelor)
Treatment for HIT (besides discontinuing Heparin)

**bonus: which 2 are CONTRAINDICATED for HIT treatment?
DTI (Bivalrudin) - give ASAP!

**Platelet transfusions are CONTRAINDICATED!!! "Fuel the fire"
**Warfarin (used alone, without a DTI) also CONTRAINDICATED --> makes venous gangrene worse!
Lepuridin (class & origin)
DTI, highly specific
Lepuridin is a recombinant HIRUDIN (from saliva of leeches)
Lepuridin metabolism/clearance
Renally cleared, thus must ADJUST DOSE in renal failure!
Lepuridin: goals of treatment (3)
KEEP LEPURIDIN ADMINISTRATION UNTIL:
1. INR > 2.0
2. No new thromboembolic complications
3. Platelet recovery
Lepuridin (Hirudin) half-life is affected by...
Half-life is prolonged by Antibodies that may form against Hirudin!
Argatroban (class & short/vs/long half-life)
DTI (synthesized from L-Arginine)
SHORT half-life! 45 min
Argatroban metabolism
LIVER
Major problem with DTI's
NO reversal agent (antidote) if bleeding were to occur!
3 Thrombolytic Therapy drugs
Streptokinase (not used anymore)
Urokinase
t-PA: Alteplase & Reteplase
Streptokinase (class; origin)
Thrombolytic therapy (complexes w/ plasminogen & cleaves it into plasmin)
Created by beta-hemolytic streptococci
Streptokinase: how is it dosed?
Loading dose - to overcome Ab to protein
Urokinase (class; origin)
Direct plasminogen activator (for thrombolytic therapy)
From human kidney cells
Alteplase (class)
t-PA (direct plasminogen activator)
Works best when fibrin is present!
Reteplase (class)

what's the difference between Reteplase and the other RX in this class?
t-PA (direct plasminogen activator)

Reteplase has FASTER onset of action & LONGER duration of action than Alteplase!
5 Indications for Thrombolytic Therapy (Streptokinase, Urokinase, t-PA: Alteplase & Reteplase)
1. MI (within 6 hr of symptoms)
2. Peripheral arterial or graft occlusion (give RX directly to site via catheter!)
3. CVA (within 3 hr of symptoms)
4. Pulmonary embolism (if massive PE w/ shock)
5. DVT
8 CONTRA-Indications for Thrombolytic Therapy (Streptokinase, Urokinase, t-PA: Alteplase & Reteplase)
1. Surgery within 10 days
2. Trauma within 10 days
3. Serious GI bleeding in the past 3 mo
4. History of HTN (Diastolic >110)
5. Active bleeding or hemorrhagic disorder
6. Previous CVA or active intracranial process
7. Aortic dissection
8. Acute pericarditis
ALL thrombolytic drugs require followup treatment with which of 2 agents:
1. Antiplatelet AND/OR
2. Anticoagulant
POINT 1 FROM ANTICOAGULANT LECTURE:
What is the goal of Heparin administration & monitoring? (achieve what outcome & in what timeframe?)
GOAL OF HEPARIN THERAPY:
Achieve therapeutic aPTT in the FIRST 24 HOURS OF HEPARIN THERAPY!!
-- This prevents recurrent DVT's and PE's
POINT 2 FROM ANTICOAGULANT LECTURE:
What drug to reverse the effects of Heparin? MOA?
PROTAMINE SULFATE
- Is a strong base. Complexes with the strongly acidic Heparin --> forms a stable salt
- Reverses Heparin's effect within 5 MINUTES of administration!!

**But beware of hypersensitivity reaction in sensitive patients. DO NOT give protamine too fast!!**
POINT 3 FROM ANTICOAGULANT LECTURE:
Mechanism of elimination of LMWH?
LMWH is RENALLY excreted! Thus, must adjust dose in kidney failure!
POINT 4 FROM ANTICOAGULANT LECTURE:
What's the best way to monitor Warfarin therapy?
BEST WAY TO MONITOR WARFARIN:
INR (prothrombin time)
MOA of Heparin (unfractionated vs LMWH)
Binds Antithrombin --> Inhibit Factor Xa + IIa (thrombin)

LMWH is small, so it mainly inhibits Factor Xa

VERY SHORT half-life (1-1.5 hr)
Where is Unfractionated Heparin eliminated?
Reticuloendothelial System
(Small fraction renally excreted; not as significantly as LMWH!!)
not removed by hemodialysis
3 LMWH (names)
Enoxaparin
Dalteparin
Tinzaparin

**-PARIN**
Indication for Heparin
Acute treatment of DVT, PE
Which drug is given for Secondary Prevention (prevent recurrent DVT/PE in the 3-6 mo of Heparin Therapy)
Warfarin (Coumadin) to prevent recurrent DVT/PE during the next 3 to 6 months of therapy
MOA of Warfarin
Inhibits Eposide reductase & Vitamin K reductase --> causes the synthesis of dysfunctional coagulation factors II, VII, IX, X, Protein C + S
Fondaparinux (class, MOA)
Pentasaccharide of Heparin
Also binds AT --> inhibit Factor Xa
Fondaparinux excretion?
(Pentasaccharide of Heparin)
RENALLY excreted!
Agent to reverse effect of Fondaparinux
NO REVERSING AGENT!! Protamine doesn't work for Fondaparinux!
