MOA of Heparin
- Accelerates binding of Antithrombin III to Factor Xa and Thrombin (Factor IIa)
- Inhibits Aldosterone secretion
- Increases concentration free Throxine
Antidote for Heparin

Thrombolytic/Fibrinolytic Drugs
- 1st Generation
- Streptokinase
- Urokinase
- 2nd Generation
- Alteplase
- Anistreplase
- 3rd Generation
- Reteplase
- Tenecteplase
MOA of Streptokinase
binds to Plasminogen and forms activator proteins that will convert Plasminogen to plasmin
MOA of Urokinase
Activates Plasminogen directly
MOA of Alteplase
converts trapped plasminogen (tPA) to plasmin
less effect on circulating plasminogen
