Thienopyridine
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Thienopyridines are a class of selective, irreversible[1] ADP receptor/P2Y12 inhibitors used for their anti-platelet activity.
Examples
Drugs in this class are: prasugrel (Effient),[2] ticlopidine (Ticlid), and clopidogrel (Plavix).
Alternatives
Ticagrelor (Brilinta) is often listed with thienopyridine inhibitors and has similar indications for use but is not a thienopyridine. It is a cyclo-pentyltriazolo-pyrimidine that reversibly inhibits the P2Y12 receptor.[1]
