VKORC1
206uses warfarin
often administered to complete a course of anticoagulation that has been initiated with heparin (see below) and to prevent thrombosis in predisposed patients.
207contraindications warfarin
Because warfarin is highly albumin-bound in the plasma, co-administration of warfarin with other albumin-bound drugs can increase the free (unbound) plasma concentrations of both drugs. In addition, because warfarin is metabolized by P450 enzymes in the liver, co-administration of warfarin with drugs that induce and/or compete for P450 metabolism can affect the plasma concentrations of both drugs.

209categories of heparin
unfractioned standard heparin and lmw heparin
210 which is often prepared from bovine lung and porcine intestinal mucosa, ranges in molecular weight from 5 to 30 kDa.
unfractional heparin
211prepared from standard heparin by gel-filtration chromatography; their molecular weights range from 1 to 5 kDa.
LMW heparin
212in addition to inactivating thrombin, inactivates other serine proteases including factors IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa
antithrombin III
213heparin nechaism
acting as a cofactor, accelerates the reaction by 1,000-fold. Heparin has two important physiologic functions: (1) it serves as a catalytic surface to which both antithrombin III and the serine proteases bind; and (2) it induces a conformational change in antithrombin III that makes the reactive site of this molecule more accessible to the attacking protease
214difference between binding LMW and unfractiomed heparin
LMW heparins, which have an average molecular weight of 3–4 kDa and contain fewer than 18 monosaccharide units, efficiently catalyze the inactivation of factor Xa by antithrombin III but less efficiently catalyze the inactivation of thrombin by antithrombin III. In contrast, unfractionated heparin, which has an average molecular weight of 20 kDa and contains more than 18 monosaccharide units, is of sufficient length to bind simultaneously to thrombin and antithrombin III and therefore efficiently catalyzes the inactivation of both thrombin and factor Xa by antithrombin III. Q
215uses heparins
both prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic diseases. Both unfractionated and LMW heparins are used to prevent propagation of established thromboembolic disease such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
216dministratio of heparin

217patients develop antibodies to a hapten created when heparin molecules bind to the platelet surface
heparin induced thrombocytopoenia
218the antibody-coated platelets are targeted for removal from the circulation, and the platelet count decreases by 50–75% approximately 5 days into the course of heparin therapy.
HIT type I
219 the heparin-induced antibodies not only target the platelets for destruction but also act as agonists to activate the platelets, leading to platelet aggregation, endothelial injury, and potentially fatal thrombosis. There is a higher incidence of HIT in patients receiving unfractionated heparin than in those receiving LMW heparin.

225fx Rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban
directly inhibit factor Xa by binding to its active site and competitively inhibiting the enzyme (Fig. 51-15). All three of these agents bind factor Xa that is complexed with factor Va and calcium ions on phospholipid surfaces. As a result, these agents do not require antithrombin III as a cofactor for inhibition of factor Xa.
226drug class Rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban

227Rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban uses
approved for prevention of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (i.e., atrial fibrillation not related to mitral stenosis or a prosthetic heart valve) and for prevention of deep vein thrombosis after hip or knee orthopedic surgery.
228what drugs may compete with warfarin
-drugs that compete with active sites of metabolism (Cyp2C9(Swarfarin), Cyp3A4(Rwarfarin)
-drugs that compete with albumin binding sites (antibiotics)

230why is DOAC dosing very limited
patient’s weight; in patients with weights below 60 kg or above 120 kg, or with a BMI of greater than 40 kg/m2, dabigatran is contraindicated
231what monitoring needs to be done in patients taking DOACs
Renal function, hepatic function, and monitoring for bleeding should be considered in all patients taking DOACs due to their potential effects on these processes.
232what should you monitor in DOAC patients
Renal function, hepatic function, and monitoring for bleeding should be considered in all patients taking DOACs due to their potential effects on these processes.
233actions of thrombin
(1) proteolytically converts fibrinogen to fibrin; (2) activates factor XIII, which cross-links fibrin polymers to form a stable clot; (3) activates platelets; and (4) induces endothelial release of PGI2, t-PA, and PAI-1.
234direct thrombin inhibitors (x5)
lepirudin, desirudin, bivalirudin, argatroban, and dabigatran
235Lepirudin mechanism of action
Lepirudin binds with high affinity to two sites on the thrombin molecule—the enzymatic active site and the “exosite,” a region of the thrombin protein that orients substrate proteins. Lepirudin binding to thrombin prevents the thrombin-mediated activation of fibrinogen and factor XIII. Lepirudin is a highly effective anticoagulant because it can inhibit both free and fibrin-bound thrombin in developing clots and because lepirudin binding to thrombin is essentially irreversible
-direct thrombin inhibitor
236approved use of Lepirudin
for use in the treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
237excretiion of Lepirudin

238monitoring for Lepirudin
bleeding is the major adverse effect of lepirudin, and clotting times must be monitored closely.
239important side effects of Lepirudin

-patients may develop anti-hirudin antibodies, limiting the long-term effectiveness of this agent as an anticoagulant
240recombinant formulation of hirudin approved for prophalaxis against DVT in patients undergoing hip replacements
Desirudin
241mechanism of action Bivalirudin
binds to both the active site and exosite of thrombin and thereby inhibits thrombin activity
-Thrombin slowly cleaves an arginine–proline bond in bivalirudin, leading to reactivation of the thrombin (not permanent)
242Bivalirudin approved for
anticoagulation in patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty and may reduce rates of bleeding relative to heparin for this indication.

250exerts an anticoagulant effect by proteolytically cleaving factors Va and VIIIa. APC also reduces the amount of circulating plasminogen activator inhibitor 1
actvated protein C (APC)
251has been found to significantly reduce mortality in patients at high risk of death from septic shock
recombinant activated protein C
252what is arecombinant activated protein c approved for
treatment of patients with severe sepsis who demonstrate evidence of acute organ dysfunction, shock, oliguria, acidosis, and hypoxemia.
253side effects of r-APC
increases the risk of bleeding.
254contraindications of r-APC
patients who have recently undergone a surgical procedure and in those with chronic liver failure, kidney failure, or thrombocytopenia.
255act by converting the inactive zymogen plasminogen to the active protease plasmin
Thrombolytic Agents
256Contraindications of all thrombolytic agents
hemorrhage of varying severity
257mechanism of action Streptokinase
forms a stable, noncovalent 1:1 complex with plasminogen. The complexation reaction produces a conformational change in plasminogen that exposes this protein’s proteolytically active site. Streptokinase-complexed plasminogen, with its active site exposed and available, can then proteolytically cleave other plasminogen molecules to plasmin.
258side effects streptokinase
-capable of eliciting an antogenic response in humans apon a repeated adminiatration
-can resukt in systemic fibrnolysis
259what re contraindications of streptokinase administration
having taken streptokinase before
260what is streptokinase approved for
treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction and for treatment of life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
261binds to newly formed (fresh) thrombi with high affinity, causing fibrinolysis at the site of a thrombus.
T-PA
262what is t-PA approved for?
treatment of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction or life-threatening pulmonary embolism. It is also approved for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
263genetically engineered variant of t-PA. The molecular modifications in tenecteplase increase its fibrin specificity relative to t-PA and make tenecteplase more resistant to plasminogen activator inhibitor 1.
Tenectplase
264a genetically engineered variant of t-PA with longer half-life and increased specificity for fibrin.
Reteplase
265a chemical antagonist of heparin. This agent rapidly forms a stable complex with the negatively charged heparin molecule through multiple electrostatic interactions
-administered intravenously to reverse the effects of heparin in situations of life-threatening hemorrhage or great heparin excess
Protamine
266mechanism of action AMinocaproic acid and tranexamic acic
analogues of lysine that bind to and inhibit plasminogen and plasmin.
267what are aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid approved for
promote hemostasis in situations where fibrinolysis contributes to bleeding.
-used to reduce perioperative bleeding during coronary artery bypass grafting
-may not increase the risk of postoperative acute renal failure
268a recombinant inactive form of human factor Xa that binds and sequesters factor Xa inhibitor molecules, leading to a rapid drop in factor Xa inhibition.
Andexanet alfa
269humanized monoclonal antibody fragment that binds dabigatran. Because of its high affinity and high specificity, it is very effective as a dabigatran antidote.
