What 3 Thienopyridine Derivatives are used to treat angina? (TCP)
Ticlopidine (not used much anymore)
Clopidogrel
Prasugrel
Ticlopidine
Class
Thienopyridine derivative
Ticlopidine
MOA
Inhibits plt aggregation by ADP; Reduces blood viscosity by decreasing plasma fibrinogen and inc RBC deformability
Ticlopidine
Uses
Aspirin alternative that’s not used much anymore
Ticlopidine
Impt SE
Neutropenia
TTP (rarely)
Clopidogrel
Class
Thienopyridine derivative
Clopidogrel
MOA
Selectively and irreversibly inhibits ADP binding to P2Y12 (blocks ADP-dependent activation of GP IIb/IIIa complex)
Clopidogrel
Uses
Great antithrombic
Clopidogrel
Impt SE
Bleeding
Clopidogrel
Misc
No surgical or dental procedures if pt taking this

Class
Thienopyridine derivative
Prasugrel
MOA
Irreversibly bind P2Y12 receptor (G protein-coupled chemoreceptor for ADP)
Prasugrel
Uses
Reduce thrombotic events in those with percutaneous coronary intervention (stent)
Prasugrel
Impt SE
Massive bleeding risk
Dipyradimole
