Structure:
InChiKey: OEKWJQXRCDYSHL-FNOIDJSQSA-N
Molecular Weight: 522.568
DrugBank Targets: P2Y purinoceptor 12
DrugBank MoA: Ticagrelor is a reversible allosteric antagonist of P2Y12. This prevents ADP binding to the P2Y12 receptor. Because it is not a prodrug, it may be of use to patients who are poor metabolizers as they may not receive as much benefit from a prodrug.
DrugBank Pharmacology: Plasma concentrations of ticagrelor are higher in the elderly, women, patients of Asian ethnicity, and those with hepatic impairment. Plasma concentrations are decreased in patients with darker skin and those with severe renal impairment. Japenese patients have 40% higher plasma concentrations than Caucasian patients. This difference decreases to 20% when corrections for body weight are made. Ticagrelor has not been tested in severe hepatic impairment.
DrugBank Indication: Ticagrelor is indicated for the prevention of thrombotic events like stroke or heart attack in patients with acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction with ST elevation.
