TIROFIBAN HYDROCHLORIDE MONOHYDRATE

Описание

Tirofiban was launched as Aggrastat in Switzerland and the US for patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction to prevent cardiac ischemic events. Tirofiban is synthesized from (S)-tyrosine by a fourstep process. Tirofiban is a novel highly potent antiplatelet agent that inhibits the interaction of fibrinogen with GPⅡb/Ⅲa, an activated platelet membrane-bound glycoprotein complex. It prevents arterial thrombus formation in a dosedependent manner. Clinical efficacy was highly significant with an absolute and relative risk reduction. In these studies, treatment with tirofiban was well tolerated, without significant adverse effects.
