• Description: Methyl (2S)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(9-thia-4-azabicyclo[4.3.0]nona-7,10-dien-4-yl)acetate, also know as Clopidogrel, is a potent inhibitor of the platelet aggregation. It reduces blood clotting by inhibiting the ADP receptor on the surface of platelets, thereby inhibiting the aggregation and adhesion of platelets. Clopidogrel has been shown to be effective in preventing thrombosis, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and stroke. Clopidogrel inhibits the activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and p2Y 12 receptors. Clopidogrel has been shown to have synergic effects with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The polymorphic nature of Clopidogrel can be monitored using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for quantification in biological samples such as human serum and plasma.
