NEWER ANTI-
PLATELETS
• Thrombosis is defined as
“Hemostasis in the wrong place”
• Thrombosis is the formation of an unwanted clot
within a blood vessel - the most common abnormality
of hemostasis
• It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality
morbidity and mortality in a wide range of arterial
and venous diseases and patient population
Hemostasis and thrombosis primarily involve the
interplay among three factors
• Vessel wall
• Coagulation proteins
• Platelets

TICAGRELOR
• Oral drug
• Non-thienopyridine - reversible inhibitor
• Binding site different from ADP -allosteric antagonist
• Does not require metabolic activation
• Maximum levels of both the drug and platelet
inhibition occur about two hours after
• Loading dose -180 mg - Maintenance dose of 90 mg
twice a day
• Advantage of not requiring metabolism by the CYP450 - minimizes the potential for
drug- drug interactions
• (e.g., proton pump inhibitors and clopidogrel)
• ELINOGREL
• Reversible antagonist
• Oral or parenteral
• This unique dual formulation provides the potential benefit for smooth transition from short term
intravenous to long term oral antiplatelet therapy
• More effective at inhibiting platelet activation by lower, rather than higher, concentrations of ADP
• Maximum platelet inhibition occurs at 20 minutes
• Under PHASE III trial
CANGRELOR
• Rapid onset and offset of action – iv route
• Ultra-short half life 3-6 minutes
• Infusion of 4μg/kg per minute peak inhibition in 15
minutes - Rapid offset, with in 60 minutes
• >90% platelet inhibition
• More desirable for elective treatment of stenotic coronary
arteries, high risk acute coronary syndromes treated with
immediate coronary stenting, and for bridging those
surgery patients who require P2Y12 inhibition
• Under PHASE III trial
• Limitations of current therapies include
• Weak inhibition of platelet function (Eg. aspirin),
• Blockade of only one pathway of ADP-mediated
signaling (Eg. clopidogrel),
• Slow onset of action
• Interpatient response variability with poor inhibition of
platelet function in some patients
GPIIa/IIIb INHIBITORS
• It’s a platelet surface integrin
• Designated as αIIbβ3
• Main use:
• Percutaneous Intervention (PCI)

• ABCIXIMAB
• It also binds to the vitronectin receptor on
platelets, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth
muscle cells.
(Vitronectin is a GP present in serum and in
matrix. It promotes Adhesion)
ORAL GPIIa/IIIb INHIBITORS
XEMILOFIBAN
Prodrug
Non-peptide
Phase III study tested the hypothesis that
chronic (up to 6 month) oral blockade of the
GP IIb/IIIa receptor would provide both acute
and ongoing protection from death, myocardial
infarction, and the need for urgent
revascularization
• OTHER ORAL GPIIa/IIIb INHIBITORS
• Orbofiban – PHASE III
• Lotrafiban – PHASE III
• Sibrafiban
TRIPLE ANTI-PLATELET THERAPY
• Based on IV GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors is more effective than
aspirin-based dual therapy in reducing vascular events, MI and
death in patients with acute coronary syndromes (STEMI and
NSTEMI).
• A significant increase in minor bleeding complications
was observed among STEMI and elective PCI patients.
• In patients undergoing elective PCI, triple therapy had no
beneficial effect - associated with an 80% increase in
transfusions and an eightfold increase in
thrombocytopenia.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 Platelets play a central role in the development of thrombi and subsequent ischemic events. The process of platelet-mediated thrombus formation involves adhesion, activation, and aggregation. Within seconds of injury, platelets adhere to collagen fibrils through glycoprotein (GP) Ia/IIa receptors. An adhesive glycoprotein, von Willebrand factor (vWF) allows platelets to stay attached to the subendothelial vessel wall (via GP Ib) despite high shear forces. Following adhesion, platelets are activated to secrete a variety of agonists including thrombin, serotonin, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and thromboxane A2 (TXA2). These agonists, which further augment the platelet activation process, bind to specific receptor sites on the platelets to activate the GP IIb/IIIa receptor complex, the final common pathway to platelet aggregation. Once activated, the GP IIb/IIIa receptor undergoes a conformational change that enables it to bind with fibrinogen.[1,2] Handin RI. Bleeding and thrombosis.
