Q

Binds to the enzyme inhibitor antithrombin III (AT) causing a conformational change that results in its activation through an increase in the flexibility of its reactive site loop. The activated AT then inactivates thrombin and other proteases involved in blood clotting, most notably factor Xa. It can increase (by up to 1000-fold )the rate of inactivation of these proteases by AT

MOA: Warfarin
Inhibition of hepatic-vitamin K dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X). The reduced form of vitamin K is required for gamma-carboxylation of these clotting factors. Warfarin inhibits vitamin K reductase, inhibiting the conversion of vitamin K to the reduced form, and thus inhibiting the production of II, VII, IX, and X
26
Warfarin has 2 isomers. What are they and which one is more potent
(R-) and (S-) isomers. The (S-) isomer is more potent.
27
Kinetics: Warfarin
Long-acting therapy. Drug is primarily protein bound (greater than 90%).
28
Metabolism: Warfarin
Warfarin has 2 isomers (R-) and (S-) formations. The (S-) isomer is more potent. Metabolism of the (S-) is via CYP 2C9 and (R-) is CYP 3A4
29
Drug can also cross the placenta, therefore contraindicated in pregnancy
Warfarin
30
Indications: Long-term outpatient anticoagulation with oral therapy for treatment of DVT, PE, stroke, anticoagulation required for patients with atrial fibrillation, and for inherited clotting disorders (Protein C and S deficiencies)
Warfarin
31
Prothrombin time (PT) is not standardized lab value. What is a lab standard that patients can have measured in any laboratory
International normalized ratio (INR). Monitoring range is dependent on the disease state (ie DVT or PE range of 2-3, but for mechanical heart valve range goal (2.5 to 3.5)
32
Oral direct thrombin inhibitor pro-drug with lower potential to need extensive monitoring and drug interactions.
Dabigatran
33
Dabigatran is reversed by
There is no specific way exists to reverse the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran in the event of a major bleeding event
34
MOA: Apixaban
_Oral_ direct Xa inhibitors (act directly for the inhibition of factor Xa)
35
MOA: Rivaroxaban
_Oral_ direct Xa inhibitors (act directly for the inhibition of factor Xa)
36
Can cause an antigenic activity as it is derived from B-hemolytic streptococci
Streptokinase
37
MOA: Streptokinase
It binds to Plasminogen to form a complex that converts substrate plasminogen to plasmin
38
This is a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. FDA-approved for treatment of myocardial infarction with ST-elevation, but also many other indications where thrombolytic therapy is needed
Alteplase
39
MOA: Alteplase
Tissue plasminogen activator is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. It is a serine protease found on endothelial cells. It catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, the major enzyme responsible for clot breakdown.
40
This is a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. FDA-approved for acute myocardial infarction, where it shows fewer bleeding complications but otherwise similar mortality rates after one year compared to alteplase
Tenecteplase
41
MOA: Tenecteplase
Tissue plasminogen activator is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. It is a serine protease found on endothelial cells. It catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, the major enzyme responsible for clot breakdown.
42
This is a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. FDA-approved for acute myocardial infarction, where it has more convenient administration and faster thrombolysis than Alteplase
Reteplase
43
MOA: Reteplase
Tissue plasminogen activator is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. It is a serine protease found on endothelial cells. It catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, the major enzyme responsible for clot breakdown.
44
Irreversible inhibition of COX in platelets which will lead to decreased activation
ASA
45
Used for prophylaxis for AMI and/or the first dose for the event.
ASA
46
MOA: Ticlopidine
ADP inhibitors- blockade of the P2Y12 receptors on platelets to decrease their activation by ADP. This prevents ADP-induced activation of GP IIb/IIIa receptors required for platelets to bind to fibrinogen and to each other
47
What order is consistent with their onset of action from slowest to fastest on inhibition of platelet activation when the loading doses are used
Ticlopidine (Slowest), clopidogrel, and prasugrel (Fastest)
48
The notable adverse reaction of ticlopidine is
Thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
49
MOA: Clopidogrel
ADP inhibitors- blockade of the P2Y12 receptors on platelets to decrease their activation by ADP. This prevents ADP-induced activation of GP IIb/IIIa receptors required for platelets to bind to fibrinogen and to each other
50
Why do ADP inhibitors have drug interaction with proton pump inhibitors
Since the PPI's are metabolized and serve as substrates via 2C19; therefore there is science that there is competitive inhibition which could potentially result in lower concentrations of ADP antagonists, particularly ticlopidine and clopidogrel.
51
MOA: Prasugrel
ADP inhibitors- blockade of the P2Y12 receptors on platelets to decrease their activation by ADP. This prevents ADP-induced activation of GP IIb/IIIa receptors required for platelets to bind to fibrinogen and to each other
52
MOA: Abciximab
Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor (\> 80% blockade results in activity). They work by preventing platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by inhibition of the GpIIb/IIIa receptor on the surface of the platelets. The GP IIb/IIIa receptors are the final step in platelet-platelet aggregation.
53
Uses: Abciximab, Eptifibatide, and Tirofiban
These drugs are used for medical management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and are indicated for cases during the PCI-Cath lab procedures
54
Indicated for cases during the PCI-Cath lab procedures. Drug involves hepatic metabolism and given as intravenous bolus and infusion. In addition, the drug's metabolism occurs via the reticular endothelial system (RES) and dosing adjustment not needed for renal dysfunction.
Abciximab
55
MOA: Eptifibatide
Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor (\> 80% blockade results in activity). They work by preventing platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by inhibition of the GpIIb/IIIa receptor on the surface of the platelets. The GP IIb/IIIa receptors are the final step in platelet-platelet aggregation.
56
MOA: Tirofiban
Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor (\> 80% blockade results in activity). They work by preventing platelet aggregation and thrombus formation by inhibition of the GpIIb/IIIa receptor on the surface of the platelets. The GP IIb/IIIa receptors are the final step in platelet-platelet aggregation.
57
Indicated for cases during the PCI-Cath lab and for medical management. Given as an intravenous bolus and infusion and does require dosing adjustment for renal dysfunction
Tirofiban and Eptifibatide

VII: 6-7 hours, IX: 24 hours, X: 40 hours, II: 60 hours
61
What natural anticoagulant factor is also vitamin K dependent and inhibited by warfarin.

What is given in place of aspirin to a patient with an aspirin allergy
Clopidogrel or Prasugrel. Ticlopidine is used far less frequently
68
MOA: Dipyridamole
Coronary vasodilation by inhibiting the cellular uptake of adenosine. It also has some weak antiplatelet activity by increasing intracellular cAMP through the inhibition of the phosphodiesterase enzyme, resulting in decreased Thromboxane A2 synthesis
69
