Platelet Aggregation
Activated platelets undergo three consecutive processes: (a) shape change
(b) secretion of platelet granular contents (ADP, fibrinogen & 5HT) (c) platelet aggregation
Platelet aggregation occurs when the receptor (GP IIb/IIIa) binds to fibrinogen GP IIb/IIIa fibrinogen

Platelet Aggregation
ADP Thromboxane a2 (TXA2) Collagen thrombin Activation of G-protein GP IIb/IIIa undergoes insideout (exposed on the surface of platelet)
TXA2
Arachidonic acid
TXA2
Then TXA2 acts on its own receptor (act as a positive feedback mediator) It also has vasoconstriction effect
ADP
receptor(positive feedback mediator ADP activates Gi-coupled P2Y12 receptors. ADP-ADP receptor complex cAMP IIb/IIIa exposed
GP IIb/IIIa
GP
It binds to arginine glycine asparagine sequence (R G D) in fibrinogen molecule or in Von Willebrand factor (vWf).
TXA2 receptor
Aspirin
N.B. Aspirin inhibits Thromboxane A2 & prostacyclin too, but the former is more affected because platelets dont have nuclei cant synthesize new enzymes
I- ASPIRIN
After oral intake, this action
is apparently occurring in the portal circulation (more action in portal circulation than systemic circulation)
Low dose antiplatelet (80-160 mg) Aspirin High dose analgesic,antipyretic,,,
Adverse effects
GI -ulceration
Post MI
Post stroke
160 mg (one half-tablet) to 325 mg (one adult tablet) Aspirin should be crushed/chewed (to facilitate faster absorption by breaking the enteric-coated delayed release tablet)
II- Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Antagonists 1- Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa murine-derived 7E3 Fab monoclonal antibody (Abciximab)
Administration and therapeutic use: in angioplasty surgery to
prevent ischemic complication (taken IV) o Heparin or aspirin are given along with abciximab
II- Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Antagonists 2- Synthetic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (R-G-D) sequence mimetics
Tirofiban (non-peptic) is a synthetic mimetic of the
R-G-D sequence of fibrinogen Hence, it blocks the binding of fibrinogen to glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa receptors They are given intravenously for the reduction of thrombotic complications during coronary angioplasty (if they are given orally they are toxic) Clinical trials showed reductions in the incidence of death and non-fatal MI in response to the use of tirofiban.
and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor antagonist, orally active It has no effect on the vascular production of prostacyclin but cyclic endoperoxides (PGH2) may increase It decreases recurrent ischemic events e.g. (angina, reinfarction, ischemic stroke) more than aspirin. Used in aspirin intolerant patients.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Ticlopidine is associated with more side effects than Clopidogrel.
Ticlopidine Nausea, dyspepsia, diarrhea (20% of patients) Hemorrhage (5%) Leukopenia in 1% of patients (most serious). (N.B. monitor WBC in the first 3 months of treatment) Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura fatal neutropenia Same Clopidogrel

THING TO REMEMBER
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa:
GP IIb/IIIa
Antagonists
Antibody
tirofiban
abciximab
Aspirin: Inhibits COX1 enzyme TXA2 Is beneficial in prophylaxis of unstable angina and pre/postmyocardial infarction. Aspirin may cause gastric ulcers and hemorrhage.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Ridogrel: Is TXA2 synthetase inhibitor and TXA2 receptor antagonist. Ticlopidine and clopidogrel: Bind irreversibly to ADP receptors inhibiting the activation of GP IIb/IIIa. They are only used in aspirin-intolerant patients because of adverse side effects
