ticlopidiini
Ticlopidine is an antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots in certain medical conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs called thienopyridines and works by irreversibly inhibiting the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor on the surface of platelets. This inhibition prevents ADP from binding to the receptor, which in turn reduces platelet activation and aggregation.
The primary indication for ticlopidine has been the prevention of thrombotic events, such as stroke or transient
