| Targets |
Vicagrel targets the P2Y12 receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor on platelets that mediates ADP-induced platelet aggregation. By irreversibly inhibiting the P2Y12 receptor, it blocks platelet activation and aggregation, thereby exerting its antiplatelet effects. It is a substrate of carboxylesterase 2 (CES2).

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Vicagrel (compound 9a) (20 μM, 30 min) stimulates the in vitro rat liver microsomal production of the active metabolite[1].
In vitro, vicagrel acts as a potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor. As an acetate derivative of clopidogrel, it is designed to have improved metabolic activation properties. It reduces metabolic inactivation and enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on platelet aggregation and thrombosis in rodents. |
| ln Vivo |
Vicagrel (compound 9a) (oral, 3 mg/kg) inhibits the aggregation of platelets in rats induced by ADP[1].
Vicagrel (orally, 1.14 mg/mL, 0–24 h) has a low clinically effective dose, good bioavailability, and good preliminary pharmacokinetics[1]. Vicagrel (oral, 5 g/kg, single, for 14 days) exhibits minimal dose-related toxicity in mouse[1]. In vivo, vicagrel has shown efficacy in rodent models by reducing metabolic inactivation and enhancing the inhibitory effect of aspirin on platelet aggregation and thrombosis. It is an orally active antiplatelet agent. It has been investigated for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Detailed in vivo efficacy data are not provided. |
| Enzyme Assay |
P2Y12 receptor binding affinity is determined using radioligand binding assays with membrane preparations from platelets or cells expressing the P2Y12 receptor. Competitive displacement of a labeled P2Y12-specific ligand is measured, and binding parameters are calculated. Platelet aggregation assays are used to assess functional inhibition.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for vicagrel use platelet aggregation assays. Platelet-rich plasma is treated with the compound, and ADP-induced platelet aggregation is measured using aggregometry. Inhibition of aggregation indicates P2Y12 receptor antagonism. The compound's effects on platelet function are evaluated ex vivo in animal models.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Male Wistar rats, (200−250 g)
3 mg/kg oral In vivo animal studies for vicagrel are conducted in rodent models of thrombosis and platelet aggregation. The compound is administered orally, and platelet aggregation is measured ex vivo. Efficacy in inhibiting thrombosis is assessed in appropriate models. The compound's ability to enhance aspirin's antiplatelet effects is also evaluated. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Vicagrel has the molecular formula C₁₈H₁₈ClNO₄S with a molecular weight of 379.86. It is orally active. It is an acetate derivative of clopidogrel and a substrate of carboxylesterase 2 (CES2). Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters are not disclosed.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are detailed in the available references. The compound is described as a "safe" antiplatelet agent. As a P2Y12 inhibitor, potential toxicities may include bleeding risk, which is a class effect of antiplatelet agents. Its improved metabolic profile may offer a favorable safety margin.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.48 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
