Biological Activity
Vorapaxar sulfate (SCH 530348 sulfate), an antiplatelet agent, is a selective, orally active, and competitive thrombin receptor protease-activated receptor (PAR-1) antagonist (Ki=8.1 nM). Vorapaxar sulfate inhibits thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP)-induced platelet aggregation in a dose-dependent manner[1].
In Vitro
Vorapaxar sulfate (SCH 530348 sulfate) shows potent inhibition of thrombin-induced platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 47 nM and haTRAP-induced platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 25 nM. Vorapaxar sulfate (SCH 530348 sulfate) inhibits thrombininduced calcium transient in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) with a Ki of 1.1 nM. It also inhibits thrombin-stimulated thymidine incorporation in HCASMC with a Ki of 13 nM[1].
