Description

Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26022529

Vorapaxar is a tricyclic himbacine-derived oral thrombin receptor antagonist that acts by reversible inhibition of the protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). PAR-1 is expressed on platelets and its inhibition prevents platelets from aggregation. Vorapaxar is approved by FDA and is indicated for the reduction of recurring thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction or with peripheral arterial disease. Vorapaxar at the same time may cause bleeding complications including intracranial haemorrhage (ICH), when compared to standard therapy alone. That is why Vorapaxar is contraindicated in patients with prior stroke, transient ischemic attack and ICH.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

One tablet of ZONTIVITY orally once daily (Tablets: 2.08 mg vorapaxar)

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

In human platelet-rich plasma,vorapaxar inhibited thrombin and TRAP-induced platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 47 and 25nM, respectively, without affecting aggregation induced by other reagents, such as ADP, TXA2 mimetic U46619 or collagen.
