The molecular target of the active metabolite of ADP receptor inhibitors is the P2Y 12 receptor. [17] P2Y 12 receptor is a G-coupled receptor and is activated by adenosine diphosphate. ADP binds to the P2Y 12 receptor that leads to inhibition of adenyl cyclase and thereby decreases the intracellular
P2Y 12 is a chemoreceptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP) [5] [6] that belongs to the G i class of a group of G protein-coupled (GPCR) purinergic receptors. [7] This P2Y receptor family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides.
P2Y 12 structure as generated by PYMOL with color-coded helices. P2Y receptors are membrane proteins belonging to the class A family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). [5] [6] P2Y receptor proteins display large-scale structural domains typical of GPCRs, consisting of seven hydrophobic transmembrane helices connected by three short extracellular loops and three variably sized ...
Also known as P2Y12 receptor antagonists, they work by reversibly interacting with the P2Y12 receptor to inhibit the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors on platelets, thus preventing the linkage of platelets by fibrinogen. [34] [35] ADP-induced platelet aggregation and activation are hence hindered.
Ticlopidine, sold under the brand name Ticlid, is a medication used to reduce the risk of thrombotic strokes. [1] It is an antiplatelet drug in the thienopyridine family which is an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitor.
The P2RY1 receptor is responsible for shape change in platelets, increased intracellular calcium levels and transient platelet aggregation, while the P2Y12 receptor is responsible for sustained platelet aggregation through the inhibition of adenylate cyclase and a corresponding decrease in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels.
Cangrelor, sold under the brand name Kengreal among others, is a P2Y 12 inhibitor FDA approved as of June 2015 as an antiplatelet drug [5] for intravenous application. Some P2Y 12 inhibitors are used clinically as effective inhibitors of adenosine diphosphate-mediated platelet activation and aggregation. [5]
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), also known as adenosine pyrophosphate (APP), is an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells. ADP consists of three important structural components: a sugar backbone attached to adenine and two phosphate groups bonded to the 5 carbon atom of ribose .
