General description

Eptifibatide acetate is a cyclic heptapeptide. It is the member of the class arginin-glycin-aspartat-mimetics. Eptifibatide has a short half-life. The drug decreases the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Eptifibatide acetate might be associated with thrombocytopenia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Eptifibatide is a specific inhibitor of fibrinogen binding to the platelet membrane integrin glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa receptor, preventing platelet aggregation. Eptifibatide binds reversibly and competitively.
