Platelet aggregation inhibitors, also called antiplatelet drugs, are "drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system."[1]
Classification
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) blockers
These drugs bind to and block the purinergic P2Y12 receptors. These receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors and are subreceptors of purinergic P2Y receptor.
Purinergic P2Y Receptor Antagonists
The purinergic P2Y receptor antagonists include the thienopyridines clopidogrel, ticlopidine, and the prodrug prasugrel.[2]
Additional antagonists are cangrelor and ticagrelor (an adenosine analog).
Cyclooxygenase-1 blockers
Cyclooxygenase-1 blockers include aspirin.
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors
Inhibitors of the platelet glycoprotein GPIIb-IIIa complex (GPIs) include the monoclonal antibody abciximab and the small-molecule agents tirofiban and eptifibatid.
Protease-activated receptors (PAR-1) antagonists
Vorapaxar
Thromboxane-A synthase inhibitors
This includes dipyridamole.
Effectiveness
A recent review conducted by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme concluded:[3]
- "The most cost-effective treatment for patients with ischaemic stroke/TIA is clopidogrel followed by MRD + ASA followed by ASA."
- "For patients with MI, ASA followed by clopidogrel."
- "For patients with established peripheral arterial disease or multivascular disease, clopidogrel followed by ASA."
"The available evidence demonstrates that the use of clopidogrel plus aspirin is associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events and an increased risk of bleeding compared with aspirin alone. Only in patients with acute non-ST coronary syndrome benefits outweigh harms" according to the Cochrane Collaboration.[4]
Drug toxicity
Drug toxicity, specifically hemorrhage, is increased if clopidogrel is combined with aspirin.[5]
