Bleeding or unusual
How fast is prsugrel absorbed?
Fast!
What CYP does prasugrel use to convert to its active metabolite?
CYP3A4 CYP2B6
Prasugrel MoA
Active metabolite binds to platelet P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors
Adverse effects of Prasugrel
● Bleeding, hypertension, hypotension, headache, hyperlipidemia
● Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (postmarketing)

Reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events (including stent thrombosis)
- Patients with acute coronary syndrome who are to be managed with PCI
What are the precautions fofr a pt on Prasugrel

● Use is not recommended in patients 75 y of age and older
- Exception: high-risk situations like diabetes or a history of MI
● Discontinue at least 7 days prior to any surgery.
● Discontinuing in the first few weeks after ACS increases the risk of CV events
Ticagrelor dosage form?
Oral twice daily
Are ticagrelor and it's active metabolite bound or unbound to plasma proteins?
bound
What metabolizes Ticagrelor?
CYP3A4
Is ticagrelor and it's active metabolite weak or strong substrates for P glycoprotein?
Weak
Half life of ticagrelor and half life of its active metabolite?
7 hours and 9 hours
How do you adjust the dose of ticagrelor for renal impairment, mild hepatic impairment, age?
You don't adjust it!
Ticagrelor MoA
Reversibly binds to the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors on platelets
Adverse Effects of Ticagrelor
Bleeding, ventricular pause, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hypotension
● Headache, dyspnea, increased serum creatinine
Ticagrelor Precautions
● Do not use with active pathological bleeding or history of intracranial hemorrhage
● Discontinue at least 5 days prior to any surgery
● Discontinuing ticagrelor increases the risk of subsequent CV events
● Maintenance doses of aspirin above 100 mg reduce the effectiveness of ticagrelor
● Avoid use with strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A
● Avoid simvastatin and lovastatin doses greater than 40 mg
Ticagrelor Uses
● Reduce the rate of thrombotic CV events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - Unstable angina, non-ST elevation MI or ST elevation MI
Abciximab MoA
● Chimeric Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody against fibrinogen αIIbβ3 receptor
● Also binds vitronectin receptor
● Receptor binding blocks the binding of fibrinogen
● Binding is essentially irreversible
Is abciximab binding reversible or irreversible?
irreversible
Adverse effects of Abciximab
Bleeding, hypoTN, thrombocytopenia
Abiciximab Uses
● Adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention or atherectomy
- Prevent acute cardiac ischemic complications
● Unstable angina not responding to conventional therapy in patients scheduled for PCI
Tirofiban MoA
Small molecule, nonpeptide against fibrinogen αIIbβ3 receptor
Tirofiban Uses
Acute coronary syndromes in patient undergoing angioplasty or atherectomy
Tirofiban adverse effects
Bleeding, hypoTN, thrombocytopenia
Eptifibatide MoA
● Cyclic peptide against fibrinogen αIIbβ3 receptor
Eptifibatide Adverse effects
Bleeding! (about 10%), hypoTN, thrombocytopenia
Eptifibatide Uses
● Given as a bolus followed by up to 96 hour infusion
● Treat acute coronary syndrome for angioplastic interventions
● Less benefit than abciximab, used with aspirin and heparin
Streptokinase MoA
● Interacts with proactivator (plasminogen)
● Forms equimolar complexes with plasminogen
● Complex converts "free" plasminogen to plasmin
● Releases plasmin
What drug is a single chain protein of β-hemolytic streptococci
Streptokinase
What is streptokinase used for?
● ST elevation myocardial infarction
● Arterial thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism
● Intra-arterial or intravenous catheter occlusion
● Thrombi occluding vessels are difficult to lyse
- 3 to 7 day old clot usually do not resolve with thrombolytic therapy
- Complete dissolution is more difficult with massive clots
Streptokinase adverse reactions
● Hemorrhage
● Allergic reactions
● Febrile response (fever, shivering)
Streptokinase Contraindications
1. Surgery within 10 days, including organ biopsy, puncture of noncompressible vessels, serious trauma, cardiopulmonary resuscitation
