Mechanism of action

P2Y12 receptor antagonists prevent platelet activation by blocking the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to the P2Y12 receptor, a key step in platelet aggregation. This antiplatelet effect reduces the formation of blood clots and is used to prevent thrombotic complications in cardiovascular disease. These agents are commonly used in acute coronary syndromes and after percutaneous coronary intervention.
