Investigational Drug Details

Drug ID: D220
Drug Name: Clopidogrel
Synonyms:
Type: small molecule
DrugBank ID: DB00758
DrugBank Description: Clopidogrel is a prodrug of a platelet inhibitor used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.[A180508,L7213] Clopidogrel is indicated to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction for patients with non-ST elevated acute coronary syndrome (ACS), patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction, and in recent MI, stroke, or established peripheral arterial disease,[L7213] It has been shown to be superior to [aspirin] in reducing cardiovascular outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease and provides additional benefit to patients with acute coronary syndromes already taking aspirin.[A180547] Clopidogrel was granted FDA approval on 17 November 1997.[L7213]
PubChem ID: 60606
CasNo: 113665-84-2
Repositioning for NAFLD: Yes
SMILES: [H][C@@](N1CCC2=C(C1)C=CS2)(C(=O)OC)C1=CC=CC=C1Cl
Structure:
InChiKey: GKTWGGQPFAXNFI-HNNXBMFYSA-N
Molecular Weight: 321.822
DrugBank Targets: P2Y purinoceptor 12
DrugBank MoA: Clopidogrel is metabolized to its active form by carboxylesterase-1.[A180508] The active form is a platelet inhibitor that irreversibly binds to P2Y<sub>12</sub> ADP receptors on platelets.[L7213] This binding prevents ADP binding to P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptors, activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex, and platelet aggregation.[L7213]
DrugBank Pharmacology: Clopidogrel is a prodrug of a platelet inhibitor used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.[A180508,L7213] It has a long duration of action as it is taken once daily and a large therapeutic window as it is given in doses of 75-300mg daily.[L7213]
DrugBank Indication: Clopidogrel is indicated to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction for patients with non-ST elevated acute coronary syndrome (ACS), patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction, and in recent MI, stroke, or established peripheral arterial disease,[L7213]
