Description
Clopidogrel (CAS 113665-84-2, EC 601-269-2) is a thienopyridine-class active pharmaceutical ingredient known commercially as Plavix and developed under research codes SR 25990, R 130964, and SR-25990C. It carries no assigned E-code. The molecular formula is C16H16ClNO2S.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, clopidogrel serves primarily as an antiplatelet agent in finished dosage form production, where it inhibits ADP-mediated platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking the P2Y12 receptor. It is also investigated as a pharmaceutical intermediate in the synthesis of related thienopyridine derivatives for cardiovascular drug development programs.
Clopidogrel is available for procurement as a pharmaceutical-grade active substance, with compliance requirements typically governed by Ph.Eur. monograph standards and REACH registration obligations within the European market. Suppliers should provide full documentation including CoA, MSDS, and batch-specific purity data. Packaging formats vary by supplier and order volume.
