  • Low Molecular Weight Heparin
    LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HEPARIN (LMWH) AHFS ??? Indications: Prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, †thrombophlebitis migrans, †disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Contra-indications: Active major bleeding, history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with unfractionated heparin, thrombocytopenia with positive anti- platelet antibody test, severe renal impairment ( certoparin, reviparin (not USA)). Pharmacology Several different varieties of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are now available (e.g. bemiparin , certoparin , dalteparin , enoxaparin , reviparin and tinzaparin ). Most are approved for the prevention of venous thrombo-embolism and some are also indicated for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, unstable coronary artery disease and for the prevention of clotting in extracorporeal circuits. All LMWH is derived from porcine heparin and some patients may need to avoid them because of hypersensitivity, or for religious or cultural reasons. The most appropriate non-porcine alternative is fondaparinux . LMWH acts by potentiating the inhibitory effect of antithrombin III on Factor Xa and thrombin. It has a relatively higher ability to potentiate Factor Xa inhibition than to prolong plasma clotting time (APTT) which cannot be used to guide dosage. Anti- factor Xa levels can be measured if necessary but routine monitoring is not required because the dose is determined by the patient’s weight. LMWH is as effective as unfractionated heparin for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and is now considered the initial treatment of choice. 1,2 Other advantages include a longer duration of action which allows administration q.d., and possibly a better safety profile, e.g. fewer major hemorrhages. 1-5 LMWH is the treatment of choice for chronic DIC; this commonly presents as recurrent thromboses in both superficial and deep veins which do not respond to warfarin .

  • New Anticoagulants for Atrial Fibrillation
    New Anticoagulants for Atrial Fibrillation Magdalena Sobieraj-Teague, M.B.B.S.,1 Martin O’Donnell, M.B.,1 and John Eikelboom, M.B.B.S.1 ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation is already the most common clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia and a common cause of stroke. Vitamin K antagonists are very effective for the prevention of cardioembolic stroke but have numerous limitations that limit their uptake in eligible patients with AF and reduce their effectiveness in treated patients. Multiple new anticoagulants are under development as potential replacements for vitamin K antagonists. Most are small synthetic molecules that target factor IIa (e.g., dabigatran etexilate, AZD-0837) or factor Xa (e.g., rivaroxaban, apixaban, betrixaban, DU176b, idrabiotaparinux). These drugs have minimal protein binding and predictable pharmaco- kinetics that allow fixed dosing without laboratory monitoring and are being compared with vitamin K antagonists or aspirin in phase III clinical trials. A new vitamin K antagonist (ATI-5923) with improved pharmacological properties compared with warfarin is also being evaluated in a phase III trial. None of the new agents have as yet been approved for clinical use. KEYWORDS: Atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants, stroke, factor Xa inhibitor, direct thrombin inhibitor Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common aspirin,3,8,9 and they are recommended for patients at a clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia. The prevalence moderate to high risk of stroke, which accounts for of AF increases with age, approaching 10% in those >70%

  • Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism: the Single-Drug Approach
    Review Treatment of venous thromboembolism: the single-drug approach Paolo Prandoni*1, Sofia Barbar1, Valentina Vedovetto1, Marta Milan1, Lucia Filippi1, Elena Campello1 & Luca Spiezia1 Practice Points An anticoagulant that is effective for both acute and long-term treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is clearly beneficial and avoids the need for any form of bridging therapy. Of the old and new anticoagulants, the results of randomized clinical trials in support of the ‘single-drug’ approach for the treatment of both patients with deep vein thrombosis and those with hemodynamically stable pulmonary embolism are, to date, only available for rivaroxaban and apixaban (direct inhibitors of factor Xa). The oral administration of rivaroxaban (15 mg twice a day for the first 3 weeks, followed by 20 mg once daily for 3–12 months) or apixaban (10 mg twice a day for 7 days, followed by 5 mg twice a day for 6 months) in patients with acute VTE, is associated with a benefit-to-risk ratio that is at least comparable with that provided by the conventional treatment with enoxaparin followed by vitamin K antagonists. Both rivaroxaban and apixaban qualifiy as suitable compounds for the single-drug treatment of VTE. SUMMARY An anticoagulant that is effective for both acute and long-term treatment of venous thromboembolism is clearly beneficial and avoids the need for any form of overlapping therapy. Among the emerging oral antithrombotic compounds that have the potential to inhibit either factor Xa (rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban) or factor IIa (dabigatran etexilate), and do not require laboratory monitoring, rivaroxaban and apixaban are the only ones to date for which there is persuasive evidence coming from randomized clinical trials in support of the 1Department of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Sciences, Clinica Medica 2, University Hospital of Padua, Via Giustiniani 2, 35128 Padua, Italy *Author for correspondence: Tel.: +39 049 821 2656; Fax: +39 049 821 8731; [email protected] part of 10.2217/CPR.13.31 © 2013 Future Medicine Ltd Clin.

Serpins in thrombosis, hemostasis and fibrinolysis J. C. RAU*,1, L. M. BEAULIEU*,1, J. A. HUNTINGTON†, and F. C. CHURCH* *Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Carolina Cardiovascular Biology Center, School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, USA †Department of Haematology, Division of Structural Medicine, Thrombosis Research Unit, Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, University of Cambridge, Wellcome Trust/MRC, Cambridge, UK Summary Hemostasis and fibrinolysis, the biological processes that maintain proper blood flow, are the consequence of a complex series of cascading enzymatic reactions. Serine proteases involved in these processes are regulated by feedback loops, local cofactor molecules, and serine protease inhibitors (serpins). The delicate balance between proteolytic and inhibitory reactions in hemostasis and fibrinolysis, described by the coagulation, protein C and fibrinolytic pathways, can be disrupted, resulting in the pathological conditions of thrombosis or abnormal bleeding. Medicine capitalizes on the importance of serpins, using therapeutics to manipulate the serpin-protease reactions for the treatment and prevention of thrombosis and hemorrhage. Therefore, investigation of serpins, their cofactors, and their structure-function relationships is imperative for the development of state-of- the-art pharmaceuticals for the selective fine-tuning of hemostasis and fibrinolysis. This review describes key serpins important in the regulation of these pathways: antithrombin, heparin cofactor II, protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor, α1-protease inhibitor, protein C inhibitor, α2-antiplasmin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.
