Bioactivity | Cangrelor (AR-C69931MX), an adenosine triphosphate analogue, is an intravenous, reversible and selective platelet P2Y12 antagonist, with prompt and potent antiplatelet effects. Cangrelor directly blocks adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced activation and aggregation of platelets. Cangrelor is also a nonspecific GPR17 antagonist[1][2]. |
Invitro | Cangrelor tetrasodium has pKb of 8.6-9.2 for hP2Y12 receptor[3]. |
In Vivo | Cangrelor tetrasodium (10 mg/kg) not only significantly decreases BLM-induced release of inflammatory cytokines (PF4, CD40 L and MPO), but also decreases the increment of platelets, neutrophils and platelet-neutrophil aggregates in the fibrotic lung and in the peripheral blood of BLM-treated mice[2]. |
