Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
R-138727 is an antagonist of the P2Y12 receptor, which is an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor expressed on platelets. ADP-induced activation of P2Y12 causes platelet aggregation and promotes blood clot formation. Antagonism of ADP binding inhibits these effects.
