Abstract
Clopidogel is a prodrug requiring hepatic bioactivation via cytochrome P450 isozymes (CYP2C19,CYP3A4, CYP3A5) to its pharmacologically active form. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 may interfere with metabolicactivation of clopidogrel, reducing its antiplatelet activity andpotentially increasing the risk of thrombosis. More recently, thecytochrome P450 2C19 pathway has been identified as the keypathway in clopidogrel bioactivation.
