Mechanism of action	Prodrug. Hepatic activation to active agent (Thiol derivative, by oxidation and hydrolysis) which is an ADP receptor antagonist - Irreversible inhibition of P2Y12 receptor at platelet surface → Inhibits activation of GPIIb/IIIa → Inhibits platelet activation	Allosteric, reversible antagonist at P2Y12-R (an ADP receptor), preventing activation of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa→ prevents platelet crosslinking	Similar mechanism as tirofiban but monoclonal antibody
