DrugBank Description: | Ticagrelor, or AZD6140, was first described in the literature in 2003. Ticagrelor is an ADP derivative developed for its P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptor antagonism. Unlike , ticagrelor is not a prodrug. It is marketed by Astra Zeneca as Brilinta in the US and Brilique or Possia in the EU,. Ticagrelor was granted EMA approval on 3 December 2010. Ticagrelor was granted FDA approval on 20 July 2011. |
CAS Number: | 274693-27-5 |
Molecular Weight: | 522.568 |
DrugBank Indication: | Ticagrelor is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome or a history of myocardial infarction. Ticagrelor is also indicated to reduce the risk of a first myocardial infarction or stroke in high risk patients with coronary artery disease. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Ticagrelor is a P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptor antagonist that inhibits the formation of thromboses to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. It has a moderate duration of action as it is given twice daily, and a wide therapeutic index as high single doses are well tolerated. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of bleeding, dyspnea, and bradyarrhythmias. |
DrugBank MoA: | Ticagrelor is a P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptor antagonist. The P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptor couples with Gα<sub>i2</sub> and other G<sub>i</sub> proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. G<sub>i</sub> mediated signalling also activates PI3K, Akt, Rap1b, and potassium channels. The downstream effects of these activities mediate hemostasis and lead to platelet aggregation. Antagonism of the P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptor reduces development of occlusive thromboses, which can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. |
Targets: | P2Y purinoceptor 12 inhibitor |
Inclusion Criteria: | Therapeutic strategy associated |
