tcsc0656 Clopidogrel

Clopidogrel is a well-known and orally active platelet inhibitor that targets P2Y12 receptor. Clopidogrel is used to inhibit blood clots in coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease.

IC50 & Target: P2Y12 receptor^[1].

In Vivo: Clopidogrel, administered during the last three months, significantly decreases blood glucose, collagen and fibronectin expression compared to vehicle-treated diabetic mice. Clopidogrel markedly ameliorates hyperglycemia-induced renal fibrosis^[1]. The combination therapy of clopidogrel and aspirin (dual-antiplatelet therapy) has been shown to be significantly beneficial compared to aspirin monotherapy and has also shown to decrease sub-acute stent thrombosis as well as recurrent ischemic events following ACS^[2].
