Mode of Action
Aspirin inhibits the formation of thromboxane A2 in the platelets. This inhibits platelet aggregation and coagulation. This action lasts until the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase is regenerated in the platelets. Clopidogrel is a prodrug and is metabolised an active thiol metabolite. The active metabolite selectively inhibits the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its platelet receptor and the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GP IIb/IIIa complex, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation.
