INTRODUCTION

Hemostasis is the spontaneous arrest of bleeding
from a damaged blood vessel
phase of vasoconstriction (TXA2, 5-HT)
platelet phase platelet adhesion - platelet
aggregation (ADP, TXA2)- viscous metamorphosis
- a platelet plug - a white thrombus
(initially forms in high-pressure arteries)
2
phase of coagulation (local production of
thrombin) the platelet plug is reinforced by
fibrin for long-term effectiveness a
red thrombus (around a white thrombus or de novo
in low-pressure veins)
PGI2 (vasodilation, inhibition of aggregation)
- fibrinolysis - inhibitors of activated
clotting factors-ATIII, protein C and S

At each step, a clotting factor undergoes limited
proteolysis and becomes an active protease. This
protease activates the next clotting factor,
untill finally a solid fibrin clot is formed.
Both coagulation and fibrin formation must be
confined to a smaller possible area to achieve
local hemostasis in response to bleeding from
injury without causing disseminated coagulation
of impaired blood flow. Two systems to reach
it - plasma contains protease inhibitors that
rapidly inactivate the coagulation proteins as
they escape from the site of vessel injury
ATIII, protein C and S, alpha2 antiplasmin, -
fibrinolysis The central process is conversion of
inactive plasminogen to the proteolytic enzyme
plasmin. Plasmin limits the extension of thrombus
by proteolytic digestion of fibrin.

activation of hemostatic mechanisms. Drug therapy

used because such diseases are common as well as

prothrombin time ratio (test/control) obtained
if the more sensitive international reference
thromboplastin made from human brain is
used. Current guidelines recommend INR level of
2.0-3.0 Dosage how much? how long? Treatment
with warfarin should be initiated with daily
doses of 5-10 mg. The initial adjustment of the
prothrombin time results in a maintained dose of
3-7 mg/day. Duration of w. therapy depends on
whether risk factors continue (i.e. inherited
disorders, prolonged immobilization). If no
continuing factors are identified, a 3-month
course of w.therapy can be appropriate.

ANTICOAGULANT DRUGS
IN-VIVO IN -VITRO heparin is a
heterogenous mixture of sulfated
mucopolysaccharides, widely distributed on a
variety of normal tissue (mastocytes).
unfractionated (UFH) MW 5 000-40 000 d
LMWH MW lt5 000
d UFH is commercially obtained from either bovine
lung or porcine intestinal mucosa As a
result, the anticoagulant activity is variable
because the chain length of the molecules affects
activity and clearance of heparin.

I. Drugs reducing processes of hemostasis- heparin

• Pharmacodynamics
• the anticoagulant action of H. is mediated
  through its ability to bind to ATIII and
  accelerate its anticoagulant activity
  (1000-fold).
• AT III is a member of the serine protease
  inhibitor family which regulates coagulation by
  inactivating some activated clotting factors
  (coagulation proteases) by irreversible complex
  formation IIa, Xa, f IXa, XIa, XIIa
• H. also interferes with clotting factors on
  the platelet surface
  
• ---
  inhibition of platelet aggregation
• Pharmacokinetics
• UFH is a highly charged molecule --- is poorly
  transported across biological membranes
  administration i.v. (immediate effects), s.c.
  (effect in 1-2 h), maximum effect in 3 h,
  duration 12-18 h.

heparin

• Unwanted effects to be continued
• osteoporosis (duration of therapy with heparin gt
  6 months)
• dosage
• an initial dose of heparin is chosen, and
  subsequent dosage adjustment is guided by APTT
  assays.
• For example it is recommended that patients
  with proximal DVT should be given a bolus loading
  dose of 5000 IU i.v. followed by a continuous
  infusion (20 to 25 IU/kg per hour).
• The goal is to rapidly achieve prolongation of
  the APTT between 2 and 4 times the laboratory
  control APTT.

• ulcerative lesions of the GIT , visceral
  carcinoma,
• advanced hepatic or renal disease

FIBRINOLYTICS (thrombolytics) rapidly lyse
thrombi by catalyzing the formation of the
protease plasmin from its precursor
plasminogen, 1st generation when administered
i.v. both protective hemostatic thrombi
and target
thromboemboli are broken down. Risks these
drugs may create a generalized lytic state
Streptokinase - a protein synthetized by
streptococci that combines with the proactivator
of plasminogen.This enzymatic complex catalyzes
the conversion of inactive plasminogen to active
plasmin. Urokinase - a human protein synthetized
by kidney that directly converts plasminogen to
active plasmin.

Streptokinase Activator Complex- APSAC) consists
of a COMPLEX of purified human plasminogen
streptokinase that has been acetylated to
protect the enzymes active site. When
administered, the acyl group spontaneously
hydrolazes freeing the activated
streptokinase-activator complex. This complex
allows for rapid i.v. injection,
greater clot
activity (less activity on free
plasminogen
in the blood) and
more thrombolytic activity.

Fibrinolytics
Plasminogen is also activated endogenously by
tissue plasminogen activators -tPA These
activators preferentially activate plasminogen
that is bound to fibrin, which (in theory)
confines fibrinolytics to the formed thrombus
