Name the anticoagulant drugs
Heparin

Warfarin (Coumadin)
Name a procoagulant
Desmopressin acetate
Name the antiplatelet drugs
Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin)
Clopidogrel bisulfate (Plavix)
Abciximab (ReoPro)
Fibrinolytic drugs
t-PA, Activase
Streptokinase
Arterial vs Venous thrombosis
Arterial- medium vessels, atherosclerosis, platelet rich plaque
Venous- static blood, rich in fibrin
clot adhering to a vessel wall
thrombus
detached clot circulating in the vascular system
embolus
3 reasons for no coagulation normally
dilution of factors
plasma inhibitors
factors rapidly removed by liver
Major risks for thromboembolism
abnormal blood flow- atrial fib
abnormal surfaces- heart valves
abnormalities of clotting factors
Platelet aggregation and formation of a platelet plug
wall injury exoses collagen
collagen binds GpIa
vWF binds GpIa
Platelets secrete ADP, TXA2 and serotonin
Aggregation through GpIIb/IIIa
Fibrinogen, fibrin monomers bind, fibrin mesh
Activated platelets round up
Coagulation
Contraction of clot
Leukocyte infiltration
These trigger poweful vasospasms and are released by platelets
TXA2 and serotonin (5-HT)
Coagulation occurs due to trauma originating from the extra-vascular space
(formation of a macromolecular complex involving Thromboplastin /Tissue Factor, and Factor VII)
the most important in vivo
Extrinsic
Coagulation is triggered by trauma to the blood itself
(from large glycoprotein complexes released by platelets)
Intrinsic
XII to XIIa, XI to XIa, IX to IXa, X to Xa
Intrinsic
VII to VIIa, X to Xa
Extrinsic
counteracting system to limit coagulation
fibrinolytic system
fibrinolytic system
Plasminogen to Plasmin which degrades Fibrinogen and Fibrin
Direct acting anticoagulants
Calcium chelators (Sodium citrate, EDTA)
Heparins
Indirect acting anticoagulants
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Heparin
active in vivo or in vitro?
what kind of a molecule?
how is it made?
what does it do?
both
mucopolysaccharide
made from bovine lung and porcine intestinal mucosa
Forms a complex with ATIII which binds clotting factors which causes them to be degraded
Accelerates the process of ATIII binding to clotting factors
Heparin
Binds and irreversibly inactivates thrombin and Xa
Heparin/ATIII
Immediate anticoagulation after administration
Acts on preformed blood components
Heparin
Blocks conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and thus inhibits synthesis of fibrin from fibrinogen
Heparin
At low doses, neutralizes Xa
At high doses, prevents thrombin induced activation of platelets, and activation of V and VIII
Heparin
Side effect of Heparin
thrombocytopenia
How is heparin administered?
IV or subQ
Does Heparin cross the placenta?
No, can be used for pregnant women
Heparin overdose
withdrawl
Protamine sulfate- basic peptide that binds Heparin and neutralizes its effects
How is Heparin monitored?
aPTT
What is Heparin used for?
DVT, PE, acute MI
Binds ATIII
Doesn't inhibit thrombin, just Xa
more specific inactivator
LMW Heparins
Advantages of LMWH over UFH?
Equal efficacy
More predictable outcome
Half life is twice
Increased bioavailability
Less frequent dosing
Less frequent bleeding
How are LMWH monitored?
not by aPTT
specific thrombin inhibitors
bind to free and meshed thrombin
Lepirudin (Refludan)
Bivalirudin (Angiomax)
the most common oral anticoagulant
Warfarin (Coumadin)
When is Warfarin (Coumadin) active?
only in vivo after a latent period of 12 to 24 hours
structural analogue of vitamin K
effects are like vit K depletion
interfere with normal posttranslational modification of clotting factors in the liver- a vit K dependent process
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Down regulates protein C which causes procoagulant activity in early therapy
Warfarin (Coumadin)
vitamin K dependent factors
VII, IX, X, prothrombin
How do you measure Warfarin?
PT
largely bound to plasma albumin and metabolizes by liver cytochrome P450
Warfarin (Coumadin)
can warfarin pass the placenta?
Yes
abortion and birth defects
Warfarin overdose?
withdrawl
vitamin K supplementatin (24 hr delay)
transfusion of whole blood or plasma
Drugs that diminish response to warfarin
Inhibit drug absorption in gut
Induce hepatic microsomal enzymes
Stimulate clotting factor synthesis
Drugs that increase the response to Warfarin
Drugs that
Displace anticoag from plasma prots
Inhibit hepatic microsomal enzymes
Reduce vit K
Inhibit synthesis of clotting factors
Decrease platelet aggegation (Aspirin)
a synthetic analogue of ADH
stimulates VIII
procoagulant
Desmopressin Acetate
For treatment of Hemophilia A with low VIII
VIII abs
severe classic von Willebrands disease
abnormal VIII
Desmopressin Acetate
Inhibits synthesis of TXA2 by blocking COX irreversibly
Inhibits release of ADP by platelets and their aggregation
Aspirin
antiplatelet drug
treatment of recurrent stroke
Inhibits response of ADP on its platelet receptor and prevents aggregation by impairing GPIIb/IIIa
Ticlopidine (Ticlid)
antiplatelet drug
treatment of recurrent stroke
Inhibits response of ADP on its platelet receptor and prevents aggregation by impairing GPIIb/IIIa
LESS side effects
Clopidogrel bisulfate (Plavix)
a chimeric monoclonal ab inhibitor of platelet GPIIb/IIIa
prevents binding of fibrinogen and vWF
prevents platelet aggregation
Abciximab (ReoPro)
When to use thrombolytic therapy?
extensive PE
severe iliofemoral throbophlebitis
acute coronary occlusion
released from endothelial cells in response to stasis produced by vascular occlusion
binds to fibrin and converts plasminogen to plasmin
t-PA
enzyme that converts plasminogen to plasmin
little activity unless bound to fibrin
selective for plasminogen bound to fibrin
t-PA
protein produced by beta hemolytic bacteria
forms a complex with plasminogen
produces a conformational change that causes it to be cleaved to pplasmin
Streptokinase
