Q

Flow chart of coagulation pathway and drug interactions

A
21
Q

What drug inhibits the hepatic synthesis of Vitamin K factors: II, VII, IX, X by blocking the gamma carboxyation of clotting factors site of action: LIVER: Only effective in Vivo
Indications: ambulatory anticoagulation
Contraindicated in pregnancy. Why?
It crosses the placenta.
“Adverse effects”
-Bleeding
-Skin necrosis (more in people with decrease in protein C)
-Purple toe syndrome (in 3-8 weeks)
-Teratogenic (bone defects)

A

Warfarin

22
Q

Why may Skin Necrosis occur with Warfarin Therapy?

A

Protein C and S are brakes in the clotting cascade. They
Inactivate the intrinsic pathway.
They have a shorter half life than IXa, Xa, and IIa and they
depend on γ-carboxylation to work
Warfarin can cause a transient protein C deficiency and
Hypercoagulability which lead to dermal vascular thrombosis
(skin necrosis)

23
Q

Warfarin is contraindicated for Pregnancy because it crosses the placenta. What is the alternate drug to give?

A

Heparin

24
Q

What drug is given?
Activates the plasma antithrombin III by enhancing the serine
Protease activity.
Antithrombin III will cause inactivation of factorsIIa, IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa.
Site of action Circulating blood
Effective in vivo and in vitro

Safe in Pregnancy: Doesn’t cross the placenta
Adverse effects: Heparin induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) Osteoporosis

A

Unfractionated Heparin

25
Q

MOA of Low Molecular weight Heparins: Enoxaparin, Dalteparin

A

High activity against factor X
Longer half life than heparin
Less thrombocytopenia
No effect on PT and PTT (levels determined by Anti-Xa assay)
Side effects: Hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia, local irritation
Enoxaparin is contraindicated in prosthetic valve due to
High risk of thromboembolism

26
Q

True or False
Enoxaparin is contraindicated in prosthetic valve due to
High risk of thromboembolism

A

True

27
Q

MOA of synthetic Heparinoids : Fondaparinux

A

*Selective antithrombin III medicated Xa inhibition
*Safer in heparin induced thrombocytopenia

28
Q

Prosthetic Valve what drugs to give?

A

Warfarin

29
Q

Direct Thrombin Inhibitors
Hirudin Family: Lepirudin, Bivalirudin

A

Lepirudin: recombinant hirudin obtained from yeast cells

Bivalirudin: Synthetic derivative of hirudin

Indication: To prevent thrombosis in patients with unstable Angina and acute MI

Adverse effect: bleeding

30
Q

Fribinolytic (Thrombolytics)
1. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA drugs)
Alteplase
Reteplase
Tenecteplase

A

Recombinant DNA
Clot specific
No allergy or hypersensitivity reactions

31
Q

Clinical use of Fibrinolytics (Thrombolytics) and Mechanism of Actions

A

Clinical Use:
Acute MI
Acute PE
Deep vein thrombosis
Thromboembolic stroke

Mechanism of action:

Activate conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which causes
lysis of fibrin clot to degradation products
Plasmin is a serine protease and is inhibited by α2 antiplasmin

32
Q

Protein obtained from B hemolytic streptococci (antigenic)
Non-specific
Allergic reactions and hypotension
Antibodies may decrease activity after recent use

A

Streptokinase
