Clopidogrel

Identification

Summary

Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent used to prevent blood clots in peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular disease.

Brand Names
Duoplavin, Plavix, Zyllt
Generic Name
Clopidogrel
DrugBank Accession Number
DB00758
Background

Clopidogrel is a prodrug of a platelet inhibitor used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.3,9 Clopidogrel is indicated to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction for patients with non-ST elevated acute coronary syndrome (ACS), patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction, and in recent MI, stroke, or established peripheral arterial disease,9

It has been shown to be superior to aspirin in reducing cardiovascular outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease and provides additional benefit to patients with acute coronary syndromes already taking aspirin.8

Clopidogrel was granted FDA approval on 17 November 1997.9

Pharmacodynamics

Clopidogrel is a prodrug of a platelet inhibitor used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.3,9 It has a long duration of action as it is taken once daily and a large therapeutic window as it is given in doses of 75-300mg daily.9

Mechanism of action

Clopidogrel is activated via a 2 steps reaction to an active thiol-containing metabolite.3 This active form is a platelet inhibitor that irreversibly binds to P2Y12 ADP receptors on platelets.9 This binding prevents ADP binding to P2Y12 receptors, activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex, and platelet aggregation.9

TargetActionsOrganism
AP2Y purinoceptor 12
antagonist
Humans
Absorption

A 75mg oral dose of clopidogrel is 50% absorbed from the intestine.9 Clopidogrel can be taken with or without food.9 A meal decreases the AUC of the active metabolite by 57%.9 The active metabolite of clopidogrel reaches a maximum concentration after 30-60 minutes.9 Clopidogrel reached a Cmax of 2.04±2.0ng/mL in 1.40±1.07h.5

The AUC for a 300mg oral dose of clopidogrel was 45.1±16.2ng*h/mL for poor metabolizers, 65.6±19.1ng*h/mL for intermediate metabolizers, and 104.3±57.3ng*h/mL for extensive metabolizers.6 The Cmax was 31.3±13ng/mL for poor metabolizers, 43.9±14ng/mL for intermediate metabolizers, and 60.8±34.3ng/mL for extensive metabolizers.6

Volume of distribution

The apparent volume of distribution of clopidogrel is 39,240±33,520L.5

Protein binding

Both the active and inactive metabolites of clopidogrel are 98% protein bound in plasma.1 Studies in cows show clopidogrel 71-85.5% bound to serum albumin.2

Metabolism

85-90% of an oral dose undergoes first pass metabolism by carboxylesterase 1 in the liver to an inactive carboxylic acid metabolite.4 about 2% of clopidogrel is oxidized to 2-oxoclopidogrel.4 This conversion is 35.8% by CYP1A2, 19.4% by CYP2B6, and 44.9% by CYP2C194 though other studies suggest CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP2C9 also contribute.3 2-oxoclopidogrel is further metabolized to the active metabolite.3,4 This conversion is 32.9% by CYP2B6, 6.79% by CYP2C9, 20.6% by CYP2C19, and 39.8% by CYP3A4.3,4

Route of elimination

An oral dose of radiolabelled clopidogrel is excreted 50% in the urine and 46% in the feces over 5 days.9 The remainder of clopidogrel is irreversibly bound to platelets for their lifetime, or approximately 8-11 days.7

Half-life

That half life of clopidogrel is approximately 6 hours following a 75mg oral dose while the half life of the active metabolite is approximately 30 minutes.9

Clearance

The clearance of a 75mg oral dose was 18,960±15,890L/h and for a 300mg oral dose was 16,980±10,410L/h.5

Toxicity

A single dose of clopidogrel at 1500-2000mg/kg was lethal to mice and rats while 3000mg/kg was lethal to baboons.9 Symptoms of overdose include vomiting, breathing difficulty, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and prostration.9 Clopidogrel is irreversibly bound to platelets for their lifetime, which is approximately 11 days.9 Overdoses of clopidogrel can be treated with platelet transfusions to restore clotting ability.9
