  "id": "MLC-T-ONC-012650",
  "term": "clopidogrel",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A thienopyridine, with antiplatelet activity. Clopidogrel targets, irreversibly binds to and alters the platelet receptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thereby blocking the binding of ADP to its receptor, inhibiting ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein complex GPIIb/IIIa, and inhibiting fibrinogen binding to platelets and platelet adhesion and aggregation. This results in increased bleeding time.",
