摘要

Inhibitors of platelet aggregation (%26quot;anti-platelets%26quot;) constitute a remarkably heterogeneous family of drugs, with regard to both chemistry and biochemistry. The rather uncommon diversity and the continuing search for new anti-platelet drugs results from the particular requirements: high efficacy associated with good tolerability especially during long-term treatment, marginal side effects and easy administration. Sophisticated structural modifications to lead compounds are employed to meet these requirements and improve bio-availability and efficacy. While thromboxane synthesis and ADP receptors are currently the most prominent targets of antiplatelet drugs, a number of other promising targets are now evaluated and new drugs are on the verge.
