Ximelagatran Mechanism of Action Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Ximelagatran is an anti-coagulant thrombin inhibitor that binds reversibly to the catalytic site and anion-binding exosite inhibiting the cleavage of fibrinogen into fibrin. Ximelagatran is used to treat heparin-induced thrombocytopenia as well as to prevent thrombosis. It is used in patients that are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or who have a risk in acute coronary syndromes caused by unstable angina or non-ST segment elevation. Thrombin is an important proteinase as it cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin monomers which help form the thrombus that forms the clot at the site of vascular injury. Because ximelagatran inhibits thrombin, clotting cannot form which is ideal for heart surgeries and some heart conditions. Ximelagatran should be monitored as it inhibits clotting so other injuries won't clot and it also can cause blood stagnation. Monitoring changes in hematocrit and blood pressure is extremely important when taking this drug. It is normally administered intravenously so that it is delivered to the site of action right away and can be controlled more easily. Ximelagatran is an anticoagulant drug used to prevent and treat blood clots, and was the first drug in the anticoagulant drug class to be able to be ingested orally. It was discontinued from distribution by its parent company AstraZeneca in 2006 as it was found to raise liver enzyme levels in patients and cause liver damage as a result.

Argatroban Mechanism of Action Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Argatroban is a selective thrombin inhibitor that binds reversibly to the catalytic site and anion-binding exosite inhibiting the cleavage of fibrinogen into fibrin. Unlike bivalirudin, argatroban is not a synthetic peptide but a derivative of L-arginine. Argatroban is used to treat heparin-induced thrombocytopenia as well as to prevent thrombosis. It is used in patients that are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or who have a risk in acute coronary syndromes caused by unstable angina or non-ST segment elevation. Thrombin is an important proteinase as it cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin monomers which help form the thrombus that forms the clot at the site of vascular injury. Because Argatroban inhibits thrombin, clotting cannot form which is ideal for heart surgeries and some heart conditions. Argatroban should be monitored as it inhibits clotting so other injuries won't clot and it also can cause blood stagnation. Monitoring changes in hematocrit and blood pressure is extremely important when taking this drug.

Monitoring changes in hematocrit and blood pressure is extremely important when taking this drug. It is normally administered intravenously so that it is delivered to the site of action right away and can be controlled more easily. Production of lepirudin by Bayer Pharmaceuticals has been stopped in 2012.

Dasatinib Inhibition of BCR-ABL (New)Homo sapiens
Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a cancer characterized by increased and unregulated growth of white blood cells in the bone marrow and the accumulation of these cells in the blood and acute lymphoblastic leukemia . The cause of CML pathophysiology is the BCR-ABL fusion protein - the result of a genetic abnormality known as the Philadelphia chromosome in which Abelson Murine Leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (ABL1) translocates within the Breakpoint Cluster Region (BCR) gene on chromosome 22. BCR-ABL is a cytoplasm-targeted constitutively active tyrosine kinase that activates several oncogenic pathways which promote increased cell proliferation and survival including the MAPK/ERK Pathway, the JAK-STAT Pathway, and the PI3K/Akt pathway. For greater detail, refer to the pathway titled BCR-ABL Action in CML Pathogenesis. Dasatinib is able to bind ABL with greater affinity than Imatinib (25-55 times more potent). It is therefore administered to patients with Imatinib resistance.
