Vorapaxar in the secondary prevention of atherothrombosis

Abstract: Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin, a platelet cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor and P2Y12 receptor blockers, remains the major drug strategy to prevent ischemic event occurrence in patients with acute coronary syndromes and in patients undergoing coronary stenting, but there some limitations that can be overcome by targeting novel targets. Unlike direct thrombin inhibitors that bind directly to thrombin, targeting the platelet thrombin receptor, protease activated receptor (PAR)-1, may offer a better choice for … Show more

“…The present concise review aims to cover present anti-platelet drugs directed against platelet receptors of current interest, and to discuss future developments. For a more accurate and profound knowledge of specific platelet adhesion receptors (GPIbα, GPVI, integrin α2β1 and GPIIb/IIIa), G-protein coupled receptors (PAR-1, P2Y 12 ) and their signalling pathways as therapeutic targets, the reader is referred to excellent comprehensive reviews (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…This appears to be a common feature in different animal models of diabetes. This conclusion is of a great importance and especially when taking into account that inhibitors of PARs consist a new family of antiplatelet drugs . It also has the implication that mice with 3‐month STZ‐induced diabetes constitute a relevant model to study the efficacy of PAR‐4 inhibitors in ameliorating platelet hyperreactivity in animal models of metabolic disorders.…”

“…The current analysis was based on clinical outcomes associated with the use of antiplatelet therapies in the secondary prevention of CV events post-MI. Six CV outcomes commonly used in benefit-risk assessment of antithrombotic treatments were selected: CV mortality, excluding fatal bleeds; nonfatal MI; nonfatal ischemic stroke (IS); nonfatal intracranial hemorrhage (ICH); severe nonfatal, non-ICH bleeds; and fatal bleeding [32,33]. Antithrombotic drugs are used for secondary prevention for their benefit of decreasing the patients' risks of CV mortality, nonfatal MI, and nonfatal IS, although they also increase the risk of bleeding outcomes.…”
