(±)-Clopidogrel-d 4 ((±)-Clopidogrelum-d 4 ) is the deuterium labeled (±)-Clopidogrel. (±)-Clopidogrel is a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor and an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonist. (±)-Clopidogrel inhibits the binding of ADP to its receptors on the membranes of platelet cells, and blocks ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex. (±)-Clopidogrel reduces vascular inflammation and angiotensin II induced-abdominal aortic aneurysm progression. (±)-Clopidogrel has anti-inflammatory effects [1] [2].
In Vitro, Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
