OBJECTIVE Clopidogrel inhibits platelet aggregation by blockade of platelet adenosine diphosphate (ADP) P2Y12 receptor. Leptin is the obesity gene product, and its serum level increases with obesity. Platelets have leptin receptors on their surfaces. Hyperleptinemia may induce ADP-mediated platelet aggregation. It has been proposed that clopidogrel effect could be diminished with high serum lep...
AIMS We investigated the comparability of platelet function tests in quantifying platelet inhibition achieved by clopidogrel. METHODS AND RESULTS This pre-specified substudy of a randomized, double-blind trial included 116 patients with stable coronary artery disease requiring diagnostic angiography. Patients received clopidogrel for 1 (300 or 600 mg) or 7 days (300 + 75 or 150 mg daily) befo...
Clopidogrel is an effective new antiplatelet agent useful for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular, cardiac, and peripheral arterial disease. However, the mechanism of clopidogrel action is not well understood, although it is known to inhibit ADP-evoked platelet aggregation. In the current study, the effect of clopidogrel on recently identified human platelet ADP receptors and their signal...
BACKGROUND For patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, the administration of a clopidogrel loading dose ranging from 300 to 600 mg is currently recommended. It is unknown, though, whether loading doses higher than 600 mg exert additional suppression of platelet function. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty patients with suspected or documented coronary artery disease admitted to our hos...
BACKGROUND We observed that the prodrug clopidogrel was less effective in inhibiting platelet aggregation with coadministration of atorvastatin during point-of-care platelet function testing. Because atorvastatin is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, we hypothesized that clopidogrel might be activated by CYP3A4. METHODS AND RESULTS Platelet aggregation was measured in 44 patients under...
AIMS Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet drug primarily used to treat or prevent acute ischemic stroke (IS) or myocardial infarction (MI). This prodrug requires biotransformation to an active metabolite by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, and CYP single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could affect the efficiency of such biotransformation. METHODS A total of 375 consecutive IS patients were genotyped...
AIMS It is thought that clopidogrel bioactivation and antiplatelet response are related to cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19). However, a recent study challenged this notion by proposing CYP2C19 as wholly irrelevant, while identifying paraoxonase-1 (PON1) and its Q192R polymorphism as the major driver of clopidogrel bioactivation and efficacy. The aim of this study was to systematically elucidate t...
AIM Clopidogrel is a widely used anti-thrombotic for the prevention of stent thrombosis and cardiovascular events in patients with coronary atherosclerosis. Clopidogrel has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects that are related to the attenuated activation of platelets. Atherosclerosis is a complex process in which the immune system and the endothelium appear to play a prominent role....
Dual antiplatelet therapy of aspirin and clopidogrel is pivotal for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the variable platelets reactivity response to clopidogrel may lead to outcome failure and recurrence of cardiovascular events. Although many genetic and nongenetic factors are known, great portion of clopidogrel variable platelets reactivity remain unexplained whi...
Background-—The role of the CYP2C19 genotype on clopidogrel efficacy has been studied widely, with data suggesting reduced clopidogrel efficacy in loss-of-function variant carriers taking clopidogrel after percutaneous coronary intervention; however, data are limited regarding the association between CYP2C19 genetic variants and outcomes in stroke patients. We investigated whether CYP2C19 metab...
