Blood Disorder Drugs

Kaplan

QuestionAnswer
How does blood coagulates? By transformation of soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. (Made in the liver)
How does Heparin works? (anticoagulant) Inhibits activated clotting factors (2a and 10a) via ACTIVATION OF AT3
How does Warfarin works? (anticogulant) Inhibits hepatic synthesis of clotting factors (2,7,9,10) by INHIBITING VIT K EPOXIDE REDUCTASE (which prevents gamma-carboxylation of the clotting factors)
MOA of Protein C and S (endogenous anticoagulant) Proteolysis of factors 5a and 8a
Which clotting factor is first to get affected by WARFARIN and why? Factor 7 and protein C - which may lead to transient hypercoaguable state b/c it has the SHORTEST half life
What is the chemical nature (molecule size/solubility) of Heparin vs Warfarin? HEPARIN: large (polysaccharide) water-soluble (safer in pregnancy d/t it being large- harder to cross the placenta) WARFARIN: small molecule, lipid-soluble (derived from vitamin K)
Which has a faster onset of action? (Heparin or Warfarin) HEPARIN (faster onset) Heparin catalyzes the binding of antithrombin 3 (to 2a,9a,10a,11a,12a) Warfarin have to “warda”
What is the antagonist for Heparin? Protamine sulfate (fast onset)
What is the antagonist for Warfarin? (2) 1. Vitamin K- increase clotting factor synthesis (slow onset) 2. Fresh frozen plasma (fast onet)
Which Heparin has a low molecular weight, given subcutaneously and does not need to monitor the PTT? ENOXAPARIN
What are the P450 inducers that DECREASE the PT while on Warfarin? (3) 1. Barbs 2. Carbamazepine 3. Rifampin
What are the P450 inhibitors that INCREASE the PT while on Warfarin? (3) 1. Cimetidine 2. Macrolides 3. Azole antifungals *they inhibit Warfarin so it works longer
What is the normal PT and INR? PT: 12-15 sec INR: 0.8-1.2 (how long it takes for blood to clot) (if INR increases that indicates an increase in the plasma warfarin levels)
What are the direct thrombin inhibitors? (3) 1. Argatroban 2. Dabigatran 3. Bivalirudin they do NOT require antithrombin 3
What is an antidote for Dabigatran? IDARUCIZUMAB
What are the direct Xa inhibitors? "-xabans" Rivaroxaban
What is an antidote for the direct factor Xa inhibitor? ANDEXANET ALFA
What are the thrombolytics/fibrinolytics? (2) 1. Alteplase (tPA) 2. Streptokinase (not used anymore d/t antigenic proterties)
How does Alteplase (tissue plasminogen activator) works? Rapidly converts plasminogen to plasmin
When (time wise) is a thrombolytic best used? if used within 3 hours of post infarction
complication of thrombolytics? Intracranial hemorrhage, bleeding
Whar are some antifibrinolytics (antidotes)? (2) 1. Aminocaproic acid 2. Tranexamic acid
What are the (3) sites of platelet activation that gets blocked by antiplatelets drugs? 1. TXA2 (inhibition of COX 1 and 2 by Aspirin) 2. GP2a/3b /Fibrinogen receptors (blocked by Abciximab) 3. ADP receptors (blocked by Clopidogrel)
Which drugs are ADP receptor blockers? (3) “-grel” 1. Clopidogrel 2. Prasugrel 3. Ticagrelor
What are the GP2b/3a antagonists? (3) 1. Abciximab 2. Eptifibatide 3. Tirofiban
Platelet aggregation is INCREASED by (5) 1. ADP 2. 5HT (serotonin) 3. TXA2 (thromboxane) 4. Thrombin 5. alpha 2 agonists
Platelet aggregation is DECREASED by (5) 1. PGI2 2. cAMP 3. ASA 4. Clopidogrel 5. GP 2a/3b
