Editorial board Clopidogrel - Chemical Structure
Chemically, clopidogrel belongs to the thienopyridine family. It is an active ingredient which, to carry out its therapeutic action, must be administered orally. However, it should be noted that clopidogrel is capable of inhibiting platelet aggregation only after the transformation into its active metabolite by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. In other words, clopidogrel is a prodrug which, to carry out its activity , must be previously metabolized by the organism.
