Anti coagulants
History of Anticoagulants• Heparin was discovered in 1915 by McLean• Warfarin has been the drug of choice for the
prevention and treatment of arterial and venous thrombotic disorders for more than 60 years
• It was initially marketed as a pesticide against rats and mice, and is still popular for this purpose
Anti coagulants• Direct thrombin inhibitors• Indirect thrombin inhibitors
DIRECT THROMBIN INHIBITORS
· Hirudin – Lepirudin· Bivalirudin· Argatroban· Melagatran· Ximelagatran (oral)· Dabigatran (oral)
INDIRECT THROMBIN INHIBITORS
• Heparin• LMWH – Enoxaparin, dalteparin• Fondaparinaux• Rivaroxiban (1st oral factor Xa inhibitor)
Classification
Parenteral
• Heparin• Heparinoids• Agratroban• Hirudins• Epoprostenol• Fondaparinux
Oral
• Warfarin• Acenocoumarol• Phenindione
Anti coagulants- uses• Prevent thrombus formation• Prevent extension of an existing thrombus• Used in venous thrombus
Heparin-Plus and minusUnfractionated heparin• Short duration of action• Bioavailability less (22-40%)• Onset immediate(iv), s/c (2-4hr)• ½ life 60-90 mins• Continuous iv or intermittent s/c
infusion• Can be withdrawn easily in case of
any complication• Daily aPTT monitoring
LMWH• Longer duration• Bioavailability more (>90%)• Onset (3-5hrs)• ½ life 4.5 hrs• Titrated dose• Effect will remain even after
withdrawal• Weekly monitoring
Heparin
• Mechanism for low dose: Inactivates factor Xa and inhibits conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
• Mechanism for high dose: Inactivates factors IX, X, XI, and XII and thrombin and inhibits conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin
• Also inhibits activation of factor VIII
Mechanism of action
Prophylaxis•5000 units SC q8-12hr, OR•7500 units SC q12hr
Treatment•80 units/kg IV bolus, THEN continuous infusion of 18 units/kg/hr, OR •5000 units IV bolus, THEN continuous infusion of 1300 units/hr, OR•250 units/kg (alternatively, 17,500 units) SC, THEN 250 units/kg q12hr
the heparin needs to be continued for at least 5 days and until theINR is 2 for at least 24 hours
DVT / PE Uses
Acute Coronary Syndromes
PCI•Without GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor: Initial IV bolus of 70-100 units/kg (target ACT 250-300 sec) •With GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor: Initial IV bolus of 50-70 units/kg (target ACT >200 sec)
STEMI•Patient on fibrinolytics: IV bolus of 60 units/kg (max: 4000 units), THEN 12 units/kg/hr (max 1000 units/hr) as continuous IV infusion•Dose should be adjusted to maintain aPTT of 50-70 sec
Unstable Angina/NSTEMI•Initial IV bolus of 60-70 units/kg (max: 5000 units), THEN initial IV infusion of 12-15 units/kg/hr (max: 1000 units/hr)•Dose should be adjusted to maintain aPTT of 50-70 sec
Anticoagulation

PharmacokineticsHalf-life elimination: 7 minOnset: 5 min
Time Elapsed Since Heparin DoseDose of protamine (mg) to neutralize 100 units of heparin•<1/2 hr: 1-1.5 mg/100 units of heparin•30-120 min: 0.5-0.75 mg/100 units of heparin•>2 hr: 0.25-0.375 mg/100 units of heparin
Protamine sulphate
Mechanism of ActionAntithrombotic agent; inhibits factor Xa, which interrupts blood coagulation cascade and inhibits thrombin formaiton and thrombus development; generally does not increase prothrombin time (PT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
AbsorptionBioavailability: 100%Peak plasma time: 2-3 hr
Fondaparinux
Deep Vein Thrombosis/Acute Pulmonary EmbolismTreatment
<50 kg: 5 mg SC once daily50-100 kg: 7.5 mg SC once daily>100 kg: 10 mg SC once daily
Administer for 5-9 days; up to 26 days administered in clinical trials
Prophylaxis>50 kg: 2.5 mg SC once daily for 5-9 days or up to 10 days following abdomonal surgery; for hip replacement, 11 days recommended and a minimum 10-14 days recommended for patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty, or hip fracture surgery; administered for up to 35 days in some instances
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (Off-label)Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patient with history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) until patient can switch to warfarin2.5 mg SC once daily
American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines assign low evidence rating to treatment of HIT with fondaparinux and conclude that further studies evaluating its role in HIT treatment are needed
Mechanism of ActionInterferes with hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X, as well as proteins C and S; S-warfarin is 4 times more potent than R-warfarinWarfarin depletes functional vitamin K reserves, which in turn reduces synthesis of active clotting factors, by competitively inhibiting subunit 1 of the multi-unit vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKOR1)

attractive target for the design of new oral anticoagulants because of the unique role factor Xa plays in the coagulation cascade as a connection between the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways
