Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Approved to reduce the risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) or with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: Antagonism of PAR1 and the resulting anti-thrombotic action may be applicable to the management of pathological thrombosis and endotheliitis in patients with severe COVID-19 [2].
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Vorapaxar is an antagonist of the protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) expressed on platelets. The effect is to inhibit thrombin-induced and thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP)-induced platelet aggregation. Drug action reduces the formation of blood clots and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and stroke. Due to its long receptor dissociation half-life of (~20 hours) it acts effectively in an irreversible fashion. Its very long elimination half-life, means it is long-acting, displaying significant inhibition of platelet aggregation for up to 4 weeks after discontinuation [3].
