Clopidogrel bisulfate

Clopidogrel Bisulfate is a thienopyridine with antiplatelet activity. Clopidogrel bisulfate irreversibly alters the platelet receptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thereby blocking the binding of ADP to its receptor, inhibiting ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein complex GPIIb/IIIa, and inhibiting fibrinogen binding to platelets and platelet adhesion and aggregation. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Antiplatelets. Its therapeutic use is listed as cardiovascular and hematologic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Clopidogrel hemisulfate, Myogrel, Isocover and Pidogrel. Its PubChem CID is 115366.
