Transcript PowerPoint Presentation - Anticoagulants and Thrombolytics

Objectives
To learn how Blood Clots are formed.
 How the blood clots are broken down ?
 What drugs can be used to regulate
clotting ?
 How to rectify clotting deficiencies

Classes of Drugs

Prevent coagulation

Dissolve clots

Prevent bleeding and hemorrhage Hemostatic

Overcome clotting deficiencies
(replacement therapies)
Blood Clotting

Vascular Phase

Platelet Phase

Coagulation Phase

Fibrinolytic Phase
Vascular Phase
Vasoconstriction
 Exposure to tissues activate Tissue
factor and initiate coagulation

Tissue Factor
Platelet phase

blood vessel wall (endothelial cells) prevent platelet
adhesion and aggregation

platelets contain receptors for fibrinogen and von
Willebrand factor

after vessel injury Platelets adhere and aggregate.

Release permeability increasing factors (e.g.
vascular permeability factor, VPF)

Loose their membrane and form a viscous plug
Coagulation Phase

Two major pathways
 Intrinsic pathway
 Extrinsic pathway

Both converge at a common point

13 soluble factors are involved in clotting

Biosynthesis of these factors are dependent on Vitamin K1
and K2

Normally inactive and sequentially activated

Hereditary lack of clotting factors lead to
hemophilia -A
Intrinsic Pathway

All clotting factors are
Extrinsic Pathway

Initiating factor is
within the blood
outside the blood
vessels
vessels - tissue factor

Clotting slower

Activated partial
thromboplastin test
(aPTT)

Clotting - faster - in
Seconds

Prothrombin test (PT)

Half-life 1 - 5 hrs - monitor aPTT
Adverse effect: hemorrhage

Examples: Coumarins - warfarin, dicumarol
Structurally related to vitamin K
Inhibits production of active clotting factors
Clearance is slow - 36 hrs
Delayed onset 8 - 12 hrs
Overdose - reversed by vitamin K infusion
Can cross placenta - do not use during late
pregnancies
Mechanism of action
Descarboxy Prothrombin
Prothrombin
Reduced Vitamin K Oxidized Vitamin K

Warfarin
Normally, vitamin K is converted to vitamin K epoxide in the liver.
→This epoxide is then reduced by the enzyme epoxide reductase.
→The reduced form of vitamin K epoxide is necessary for the synthesis of many
coagulation factors (II, VII, IX and X, as well as protein C and protein S).
→Warfarin inhibits the enzyme epoxide reductase in the liver, thereby inhibiting
coagulation. )‫(عبدهللا المطيري‬
Warfarin Side Effect
Severe Side effects:
•Severe bleeding
•Bleeding from the rectum or black stool
•Skin conditions such as hives, a rash or itching
•Swelling of the face, throat, mouth, legs, feet or hands
•Bruising that comes about without an injury you remember
•Chest pain or pressure
•Nausea or vomiting
•Fever or flu-like symptoms
•Joint or muscle aches
•Diarrhea
•Difficulty moving
•Numbness of tingling in any part of your body
•Painful erection lasting four hours or longer
Warfarin Side Effect
Other less serious warfarin side effects:
•Gas
•Feeling cold
•Fatigue
•Pale skin
•Changes in the way foods taste
•Hair loss

Antiplatelet drugs
Example: Aspirin
 Prevents platelet aggregation /adhesion
 Clinical use - prevents arterial thrombus

 Myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart valve
replacement and shunts

Other antiplatelet drugs are Dipyridamole, sulfinpyrazone and
Ticlopidine
Mechanism of action
Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX)
 COX is a key enzyme involved in the
synthesis of thromboxane 2
(prostaglandins)
 Inhibits platelet aggregation

Prophylactic use of Aspirin

Low dose daily.

Prevents ischemic attack (ministroke) and MI

335 mg/day reduced the risk of heart attack in
patients over 50

More than 1000 mg/day NO EFFECT
 Contraindication - DO NOT give to patients with
glucose 6-PO4 dehydrogenase deficiency
Fibrinolysis

Enhance degradation of clots

Activation of endogenous protease

Plasminogen (inactive form) is
converted to Plasmin (active form)

Plasmin breaks down fibrin clots
Fibrinolysis

Exogenously administered drugs
 Streptokinase - bacterial product
○ - continuous use - immune reaction
 Urokinase - human tissue derived –
○ no immune response
 Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) - genetically
cloned
○ no immune reaction
○ EXPENSIVE
