Anti Platelets FKFKFK
Anti Platelets FKFKFK
Anti Platelets FKFKFK
(Anti-thrombotics)
Classification
1.Arachidonic acid pathway inhibitors e.g aspirin
2. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors e.g. dipyridamol
3. ADP pathway inhibitors.
Ticlopidine- Clopidogrel
4. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
Abciximab, tirofiban
Platelet aggregation
Uses
1. Prophylaxis of venous thrombosis.
2. Transient cerebral ischemic attacks.
2. Following coronary artery bypass grafting.
3. Prevention of myocardial infarction.
4. Following coronary artery angioplasty.
5. Prosthetic heart valves.
6. Chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Aspirin ( Acetylsalicylic Acid )
Mechanism of Action
1.Irreversible inhibition of cyclooxygenase
enzyme via acetylation.
2.Small dose inhibits thromboxane
synthesis in platelets (TXA2) But not
prostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis in
endothelium (larger dose).
Side effects
1. Peptic Ulcer.
2. Increased incidence of GIT bleeding
Uses
Prophylaxis of myocardial infarction
ADP pathway inhibitors
Ticlopidine & Clopidogrel
Mechanism of Action
Inhibits the binding of ADP to its platelet
receptor by irreversibly modifying the
platelet ADP receptor.
Pharmacokinetics of ticlopidine
Given orally.
Extensively bound to plasma proteins.
5.Allergic Reactions.
Disadvantages : Headache
Advantage : No excess risk of bleeding
Glycoprotein IIb/ IIIa receptor inhibitors
