DrugBank Accession Number
DB08816
Background

Ticagrelor, or AZD6140, was first described in the literature in 2003.4,5 Ticagrelor is an ADP derivative developed for its P2Y12 receptor antagonism.5 Unlike clopidogrel, ticagrelor is not a prodrug.5 It is marketed by Astra Zeneca as Brilinta in the US6 and Brilique or Possia in the EU,7.

Ticagrelor was granted EMA approval on 3 December 2010.7 Ticagrelor was granted FDA approval on 20 July 2011.6

Pharmacodynamics

Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 receptor antagonist that inhibits the formation of thromboses to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.1,3 It has a moderate duration of action as it is given twice daily, and a wide therapeutic index as high single doses are well tolerated.6,7 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of bleeding, dyspnea, and bradyarrhythmias.6

Mechanism of action

Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 receptor antagonist.1

The P2Y12 receptor couples with Gαi2 and other Gi proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase.3 Gi mediated signalling also activates PI3K, Akt, Rap1b, and potassium channels.3 The downstream effects of these activities mediate hemostasis and lead to platelet aggregation.3

Antagonism of the P2Y12 receptor reduces development of occlusive thromboses, which can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.3

Absorption

Ticagrelor is 36% orally bioavailable.6 A single 200mg oral dose of ticagrelor reaches a Cmax of 923ng/mL, with a Tmax of 1.5 hours and an AUC of 6675ng*h/mL.1 The active metabolite of ticagrelor reaches a Cmax of 264ng/mL, with a Tmax of 3.0 hours and an AUC of 2538ng*h/mL.1

Volume of distribution

The steady state volume of distribution of ticagrelor is 88 L.6

Protein binding

Ticagrelor and its active metabolite ate >99% protein bound in plasma, particularly albumin.2,6

Metabolism

The complete structure of all ticagrelor metabolites are not well defined.1 Ticagrelor can be dealkylated at postition 5 of the cyclopentane ring to form the active AR-C124910XX.1 AR-C124910XX's cyclopentane ring can be further glucuronidated or the alkyl chain attached to the sulfur can be hydroxylated.1 Ticagrelor can also be glucuronidated or hydroxylated.1 Ticagrelor can also be N-dealkylated to form AR-C133913XX, which is further glucuronidated or hydroxylated.1

Route of elimination

A radiolabelled dose of ticagrelor is 57.8% recovered in feces and 26.5% recovered in urine.1,6 Less than 1% of the dose is recovered as the unmetabolized parent drug.6 The active metabolite AC-C124910XX makes up 21.7% of the recovery in the feces.1 The metabolite AR-C133913XX makes up 9.2% of the recovery in the urine and 2.7% of the recovery in the feces.1 Other minor metabolites are predominantly recovered in the urine.1

Half-life

Ticagrelor has a plasma half life of approximately 8 hours, while the active metabolite has a plasma half life of approximately 12 hours.1

Clearance

The renal clearance of ticagrelor is 0.00584L/h.1

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Ticagrelor can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Ticagrelor can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbciximabThe risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Abciximab is combined with Ticagrelor.
AbemaciclibThe serum concentration of Abemaciclib can be increased when it is combined with Ticagrelor.
AbrocitinibThe risk or severity of bleeding and thrombocytopenia can be increased when Ticagrelor is combined with Abrocitinib.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits the CYP3A4 metabolism of ticagrelor, which may increase its serum concentration.
  • Avoid herbs and supplements with anticoagulant/antiplatelet activity. Herbs with antiplatelet activity may increase the risk of bleeding. Examples include garlic, ginger, bilberry, danshen, piracetam, and ginkgo biloba.
  • Avoid St. John's Wort. This herb induces the CYP3A4 metabolism of ticagrelor and may reduce its serum concentration.
  • Take with or without food.

General Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of sterols, steroid hormones, retinoids and fatty acids (PubMed:10681376, PubMed:11093772, PubMed:11555828, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20702771, PubMed:21490593, PubMed:21576599). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847, PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:21490593, PubMed:21576599, PubMed:2732228). Exhibits high catalytic activity for the formation of hydroxyestrogens from estrone (E1) and 17beta-estradiol (E2), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2, as well as D-ring hydroxylated E1 and E2 at the C-16 position (PubMed:11555828, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:14559847). Plays a role in the metabolism of androgens, particularly in oxidative deactivation of testosterone (PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:22773874, PubMed:2732228). Metabolizes testosterone to less biologically active 2beta- and 6beta-hydroxytestosterones (PubMed:15373842, PubMed:15764715, PubMed:2732228). Contributes to the formation of hydroxycholesterols (oxysterols), particularly A-ring hydroxylated cholesterol at the C-4beta position, and side chain hydroxylated cholesterol at the C-25 position, likely contributing to cholesterol degradation and bile acid biosynthesis (PubMed:21576599). Catalyzes bisallylic hydroxylation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:9435160). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of PUFA with a preference for the last double bond (PubMed:19965576). Metabolizes endocannabinoid arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide) to 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ethanolamides (EpETrE-EAs), potentially modulating endocannabinoid system signaling (PubMed:20702771). Plays a role in the metabolism of retinoids. Displays high catalytic activity for oxidation of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, a rate-limiting step for the biosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) (PubMed:10681376). Further metabolizes atRA toward 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in hepatic atRA clearance (PubMed:11093772). Responsible for oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. Acts as a 2-exo-monooxygenase for plant lipid 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) (PubMed:11159812). Metabolizes the majority of the administered drugs. Catalyzes sulfoxidation of the anthelmintics albendazole and fenbendazole (PubMed:10759686). Hydroxylates antimalarial drug quinine (PubMed:8968357). Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase (PubMed:11695850). Also involved in vitamin D catabolism and calcium homeostasis. Catalyzes the inactivation of the active hormone calcitriol (1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)) (PubMed:29461981)

Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (PubMed:10681376, PubMed:11093772, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:2732228). Exhibits high catalytic activity for the formation of catechol estrogens from 17beta-estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2 (PubMed:12865317). Catalyzes 6beta-hydroxylation of the steroid hormones testosterone, progesterone, and androstenedione (PubMed:2732228). Catalyzes the oxidative conversion of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, a rate-limiting step for the biosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) (PubMed:10681376). Further metabolizes all trans-retinoic acid (atRA) to 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in hepatic atRA clearance (PubMed:11093772). Also involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics, including calcium channel blocking drug nifedipine and immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine (PubMed:2732228)

General Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of endocannabinoids and steroids (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:21289075). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide) to 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ethanolamides (EpETrE-EAs), potentially modulating endocannabinoid system signaling (PubMed:21289075). Hydroxylates steroid hormones, including testosterone at C-16 and estrogens at C-2 (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:21289075). Plays a role in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics, including plant lipids and drugs (PubMed:11695850, PubMed:22909231). Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase (PubMed:11695850)

General Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of various endogenous substrates, including fatty acids and steroids (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:21576599, PubMed:7574697, PubMed:9435160, PubMed:9866708). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:12865317, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:21576599, PubMed:7574697, PubMed:9435160, PubMed:9866708). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:7574697, PubMed:9866708). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Metabolizes cholesterol toward 25-hydroxycholesterol, a physiological regulator of cellular cholesterol homeostasis (PubMed:21576599). Exhibits low catalytic activity for the formation of catechol estrogens from 17beta-estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2 (PubMed:12865317). Catalyzes bisallylic hydroxylation and hydroxylation with double-bond migration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:9435160, PubMed:9866708). Also metabolizes plant monoterpenes such as limonene. Oxygenates (R)- and (S)-limonene to produce carveol and perillyl alcohol (PubMed:11950794). Contributes to the wide pharmacokinetics variability of the metabolism of drugs such as S-warfarin, diclofenac, phenytoin, tolbutamide and losartan (PubMed:25994031)

Binder
General Function
Binds water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs (Probable). Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood (Probable). Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc (PubMed:19021548). Major calcium and magnesium transporter in plasma, binds approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma (By similarity). Potentially has more than two calcium-binding sites and might additionally bind calcium in a non-specific manner (By similarity). The shared binding site between zinc and calcium at residue Asp-273 suggests a crosstalk between zinc and calcium transport in the blood (By similarity). The rank order of affinity is zinc > calcium > magnesium (By similarity). Binds to the bacterial siderophore enterobactin and inhibits enterobactin-mediated iron uptake of E.coli from ferric transferrin, and may thereby limit the utilization of iron and growth of enteric bacteria such as E.coli (PubMed:6234017). Does not prevent iron uptake by the bacterial siderophore aerobactin (PubMed:6234017)
