You decide to administer an IL1 antagonist to a patient with aggressive rheumatoid arthritis, what is the drug you would use?
Anakinra

This is the ONLY Interluekin antagonist
First line DMARD for rheumatoid arthritis
Methotrexate
MOA of heparin?
Prevent fibrin formation by binding to and activating antithrombin III. Antithrombin III then forms inactive complexes with IIa, IXa and Xa.

Remember, LMW heparain only interacts with Factor Xa
main alternative to the use of aspirin in pts with a recent MI or stroke
Clopidogrel
Can be given orally and used for prolonged anticoagulant therapy
Warfarin

(Rivaroxaban is also an oral agent, this is used to prevent DVT following surgery)
MOA of Zafirlukast?
leukotriene receptor antagonist
Soluble fibrinogen is converted by _ to insoluble fibrin forming mesh network that along with the aggregated platelets forms a thrombus
thrombin
Antithrombin is a _that inactivates thrombin (factor IIa), IXa, and Xa
serine protease inhibitor
Antithrombin is a serine protease inhibitor that inactivates _, _, and _
thrombin (factor IIa), IXa, and Xa
What effect would a lack of vitamin K have on coagulation?
Decrease coagulation*
(T/F) LMW Heparin does not inhibit thrombin *
True
The dose of UF heparin should be adjusted for
Hepatic insufficiency
Renal disease
Gq-coupled receptors cause
Release of Ca2+ from the ER*
Activation of PKC *
does not inhibit thrombin, only interacts with factor Xa
Enoxaparin (LMWH)
mixture of heparAN
Danaparoid
Thrombin inhibitor that is CI in renal insufficiency
Lepirudin
Thrombin inhibitor that is CI in hepatic insufficiency
Argatroban
Direct Thrombin Inhibitor that is specific to factor IIa and can be taken orally
Dabigatran

- All other direct thrombin inhibitors are given by injection.
- Because this is oral, side effects include GI effects such as dyspepsia, GERD, and ulcer
Block the gamma-carboxylation of glutamate residues in prothrombin, factors VII, IX, and X by blocking vitamin K reductuase
Warfarin
Specific factor Xa inhibitor
Rivaroxaban
binds to and activates plasminogen to cause conversion of plasminogen to plasmin.
Streptokinase

(plasminogen activator - fibrinolytic agents)
inhibits plasminogen, therefore decreasing bleeding
Tranexamic acid
Serine protease inhibitor that inhibits plasmin, which decreases bleeding.
Aprotinin

(no longer used)
Bind to and inhibit the p2Y12 receptor (G coupled), which is the receptor for ADP release, blocking platelet aggregation
ADP antagonists

such as Clopidogrel and Prasugrel
Humanized monoclonal antibody
Abciximab
Inhibits BOTH purines and Pyrimidines.
Methotrexate
RA drug that can cause pulmonary fibrosis
Methotrexate
Used in very mild cases of RA. (also an antimalarial)
Hydroxycloroquine
Used if methotrexate does not give a sufficient result. Used as an adjunct in combo with methotrexate
Sulfasalzine

(RA)
Can add on on to methotrexate if Meth+Sulfa is not enough
Leflunomide

(RA)
IGG monoclonal antibody, binds to soluble and bound TNF alpha
Infliximab

(Biological agents - RA)
The only Interluekin antagonist
Anakinra

(Biologic agents, RA)
RA drug that can cause angioedema, ankle edema, or significant vomiting and hypotension. Allergic type rxns. Cautious in COPD and asthma.
Rituximab

Anti CD20 Monoclonal Antibody (Biologic Response modifier)
known to cause lots of anaphylactic rxns
Abatacept

BRM - for RA
Converted in intestine to two separate active metabolites: sulfapyradine (antibact) and mesalamine (antiinflam)
Sulfasalzine

(limited use because of it's GI side effects)
_ reduces formation of pyrimidines, while _ reduces formation both purines and pyrimidines
Leflunomide

Methotrexate
How do you treat heparin overdose?
Antidote - Protamine!

Heparin is removed relatively quickly so unless it's life threatening, it may be best to wait.
irrevsibly binds ONLY the catalytic site on thrombin
Monovalent anticoagulant agents --- argatroban (LMW), Dabigatran
_ reduce dabigatran effects and should be avoided with use.
P-glycoprotein inducers (rifampin)
Warfarin inhibits what enzyme
vitamin K reductase. therefore it prevents activation of coagulation factors
Pregnant women can only receive (heparin/warfarin), not the other
heparin
prevention of deep vein thrombosis following hip or knee replacement, Specific factor Xa inhibitor
Rivaroxaban
Streptokinase is a _
fibrinolytic

it binds to and activates plasminogen to cause conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which will degrade a clot
Big picture Plasminogen will (form/break) clots
break


Therefore, tissue plasminogen activators such as Alteplase, Streptokinase are FIBRINOLYTICS
Big picture: Serine Protease Inhibitors will (form/break) clots
form

they inhibit plasmin thus decreasing bleeding
PGI2 is released by _, binds to a _ receptor , and causes _ (with regards to coagulation)
intact endothelial cells

Gs-coupled prostacyclin receptor (on platelets)

increase cAMP and decreased release of Ca from the ER

This INHIBITS (in normal circumstances) the formation of clots in healthy, intact blood vessels.
Your pt with rheumatoid arthritis is put on a drug that inhibits both purines and pyrimidines. What is the most serious side effect that can occur in this patient? What supplement do they need to be on?
Pulmonary Fibrosis; folic acid

this drug is methotrexate, it works by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase ultimately resulting in inhibiting both purines and pyrimidines
Your pt with rheumatoid arthritis is put on a drug that inhibits both purines and pyrimidines. 6 months later, he still suffers from morning stiffness and joint pain? Should you increase the dose or add another drug?
this patient was on methotrexate. When this fails, you should add SULFASALZINE.
Sulfasalazine requires _ to be converted to it's active form
Colonic bacteria

So if you wipe out the colonic bacteria (by taking chronic antibacterials), you will have a problem activating this drug
If Methotrexate+sulfasalazine doesn't work, whats the next drug you can try in combo with Methotrexate?
Leflunomide
Antihypertensive therapy should be withheld for 12 hours prior to the administration of what BRM?
Rituximab,

It causes temporary vasodilation. could lead to a hypotensive issue
