Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors

Professor. Dr. MAHMOUD KHATTAB,

The components of a platelet

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

platelet

There is 50,000GP IIb/IIIa receptors on the surface of each platelet

Platelet Aggregation
ADP Thromboxane a2 (TXA2) Collagen thrombin Activation of G-protein GP IIb/IIIa undergoes insideout (exposed on the surface of platelet)

TXA2

The receptor binds to fibrinogen


COX enzyme

Arachidonic acid

TXA2

Then TXA2 acts on its own receptor (act as a positive feedback mediator) It also has vasoconstriction effect

ADP

Stored ADP released and acts on its own

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).

Overview of antiplatelet drugs


Glycoprotein receptor (IIb/IIIa)

TXA2 receptor

Fibrinogen mimetics (Tirofiban)


COX inhibitor (Aspirin)
2- antibody (Abciximab)

TXA2 antagonist (Ridogril)

Gb IIb/IIIa receptor blocker 1- (R-G-D) mimetics

ADP receptor blocker

Mechanism of action of Aspirin

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,,,

Uses & adverse effect


Uses
Prophylaxis against unstable angina

Adverse effects
GI -ulceration

Post MI

Prolonged bleeding time risk of hemorrhage

Post stroke

Can not be used in child suffering from viral infection


N.B. these are dose dependent

Aspirin Antiplatelet Efficacy 1- Dose


Most authorities recommend initial therapy with a dose of

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)

Aspirin Antiplatelet Efficacy


A. Efficacy of aspirin in patients with unstable angina
Reduces morbid ischemic events

B. Efficacy of aspirin in patients following acute MI


Reduces nonfatal MI and nonfatal stroke

C. Reduce morbidity and mortality in stroke patients

II- Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Antagonists 1- Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa murine-derived 7E3

Fab monoclonal antibody (Abciximab)


Abciximab is composed of 7E3 Fab fragments.

derived from murine (mouse)


Abcixi(m)ab (m): monoclonal antibody. directed against glycoprotein receptor type GPIIb/IIIa. Mechanism: The m7E3 Fab binds selectively to the

glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa receptors inhibiting platelet aggregation (see next slide)

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.

III- Thromboxane Antagonists


Ridogrel is a combined thromboxane synthase inhibitor

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.

IV- Platelet ADP Receptor Antagonists (Thienopyridines) Ticlopidine & Clopidogrel


They inhibit irreversibly ADP binding to receptors

inhibit platelet aggregation No effect on PG synthesis 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:

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

Remember: TXA2: increases platelet aggregation and vasoconstrictor


Prostacyclin: decreases platelet aggregation and vasodilator
