PII S0735-1097(02)02687-6 The Evolving Role of Direct Thrombin Inhibitors in Acute Coronary Syndromes John Eikelboom, MBBS, MSC, FRACP, FRCPA,* Harvey White, MB, CHB, DSC, FRACP, FACC,† Salim Yusuf, MBBS, DPHIL, FRCP (UK), FRCPC, FACC‡ Perth, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada The central role of thrombin in the initiation and propagation of intravascular thrombus provides a strong rationale for direct thrombin inhibitors in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Direct thrombin inhibitors are theoretically likely to be more effective than indirect thrombin inhibitors, such as unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin, because the heparins block only circulating thrombin, whereas direct thrombin inhibitors block both circulating and clot-bound thrombin. Several initial phase 3 trials did not demonstrate a convincing benefit of direct thrombin inhibitors over unfractionated heparin. However, the Direct Thrombin Inhibitor Trialists’ Collaboration meta-analysis confirms the superiority of direct thrombin inhibitors, particularly hirudin and bivalirudin, over unfractionated heparin for the prevention of death or myocardial infarction (MI) during treatment in patients with ACS, primarily due to a reduction in MI (odds ratio, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.70 to 0.91) with little impact on death. The absolute risk reduction in the composite of death or MI at the end of treatment (0.8%) was similar at 30 days (0.7%), indicating no loss of benefit after cessation of therapy.

  • Fibrinolytic Drugs
    FIBRINOLYTIC DRUGS Margaret Holland, PA-C, Director of Education Originally published in the July/August 2017 Sutureline, Volume 37, No. 4 In the last issue of Sutureline, we addressed antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs in the Student Corner. In this article, we will finish investigating fibrinolytic drugs! Recall that antithrombotic drugs are commonly used for a host of medical conditions in which thrombi have or are likely to form including atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. We know that there are important categories of antithrombotic drugs that differ in their mechanism of action. Antiplatelet: inhibit platelet activation or aggregation Anticoagulant: affect fibrin formation Fibrinolytic: degrade fibrin The rest of this article will look at the fibrinolytic drugs and give you key points about the most common drugs and how they work. Fibrinolysis As their name implies, fibrinolytic drugs all break down fibrin, through enzymatic and biochemical reactions. Dissolution of a clot is the process called fibrinolysis, a process in which fibrin is de- graded and the foundation of the clot is disrupted. Thus fibrinolytic drugs are used to dissolve an already formed clot. This is an important point. Fibrinolytic drugs are not intended to be used to prevent clots from forming! Fibrinolytics are used to disrupt clots that have formed in situations such as acute myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke, and massive pulmonary embolism. In all of these cases, rapid clot dissolution is the main goal with the hope of restoring perfusion to the heart, preventing neuronal death in the brain, or restoring pulmonary artery function.

  • Urokinase for Injection)
    Kinlytic™ (urokinase for injection) DESCRIPTION Kinlytic™ (urokinase for injection) is a thrombolytic agent obtained from human neonatal kidney cells grown in tissue culture. The principal active ingredient of Kinlytic™ is the low molecular weight form of urokinase, and consists of an A chain of 2,000 daltons linked by a sulfhydryl bond to a B chain of 30,400 daltons. Kinlytic™ is supplied as a sterile lyophilized white powder containing 250,000 international units urokinase per vial, mannitol (25 mg/vial), Albumin (Human) (250 mg/vial), and sodium chloride (50 mg/vial). Following reconstitution with 5 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, Kinlytic™ is a clear, slightly straw-colored solution; each mL contains 50,000 international units of urokinase activity, 0.5% mannitol, 5% Albumin (Human), and 1% sodium chloride (pH range 6.0 to 7.5). Thin translucent filaments may occasionally occur in reconstituted Kinlytic™ vials (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Kinlytic™ is for intravenous infusion only. Kinlytic™ is produced from human neonatal kidney cells (see WARNINGS). No fetal tissue is used in the production of Kinlytic™. Kidney donations are obtained exclusively in the United States from neonates (birth to 28 days) for whom death has not been attributed to infectious causes and that have exhibited no evidence of an infectious disease based in part, on an examination of the maternal and neonatal donor medical records. The maternal and neonatal donor screening process also identifies specific risk factors for known infectious diseases and includes testing of sera for HBV, HCV, HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-I, HTLV-II, CMV, and EBV.
