“…Numerous antiplatelet therapies have been developed; however, currently available agents are still associated with inadequate efficacy, risk of bleeding, and variability in individual response 4 . Dual Antiplatelet therapy with Aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors, drugs from thienopyridine class (Ticlopidine, Clopidogrel, and Prasugrel) is therefore the cornerstone of medical management in patients with ACS, those undergoing percutaneous coronary Intervention (PCI), prevention of stent thrombosis and is necessary in both the acute phase and long-term maintenance therapy [5][6][7] . Despite these benefits, many patients continue to have recurrent atherothrombotic events while receiving standard dual antiplatelet therapy 8 .…”

“…It has been established that not all of the patients receiving Clopidogrel benefit to the same extent, and it has been shown that patients with a Poor Metabolizers (PM) genotype status for CYP2C19 are at increased risk of ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention 5,14 suggesting that CYP2C19 polymorphism is a clinically relevant determinant of response to Clopidogrel. In 2010, the USFDA had imposed a box warning on Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets (Plavix) stating that "Effectiveness of Clopidogrel bisulfate depends on conversion to an active metabolite by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system, principally CYP2C19 enzyme.…”

“…Thrombus occlusion of a coronary artery, which may result in an acute myocardial infarction, is the proximate cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). With platelets thus playing a central role in atherothrombosis and consequent pathologies, antiplatelet therapy has emerged as a cornerstone of treatment for ACS patients .…”
