Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 inhibitor, a class of antiplatelet medications that work by blocking the P2Y12 receptors on platelets. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of platelet activation and aggregation. When activated, platelets release adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which binds to the P2Y12 receptors, leading to further platelet activation and aggregation. Ticagrelor specifically binds to the P2Y12 receptors, preventing ADP from binding and thereby inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation. This action helps to prevent the formation of blood clots, which is crucial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in patients with certain cardiovascular conditions.
