CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
The IUPAC name for clopidogrel is methyl (2S)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5-yl)acetate. Having a molecular weight of 321.8g/mol, it has a molecular formula of C16H16ClNO2S.
PRODUCT APPLICATION:
Acute Coronary Syndrome is the main condition that employs the antiplatelet action of this drug. It prevents clot formation and hence reduces the chance of heart attack. Similarly, it prevents stroke from happening. Peripheral artery disease takes advantage of this function of the clopidogrel. Clopidogrel blocks clot formation by binding to ADP receptors of the platelets which inhibits aggregation of platelets.
