Developments in inhibiting platelet aggregation based on different design strategies

Abstract

Platelet aggregation is the central event in hemostasis and thrombosis. Up to now, many agents inhibiting platelet aggregation have been approved for the treatment of thrombotic disorders. In this review, we mainly summarized the progress in the research of platelet aggregation inhibitors based on different design strategies. The advantage and challenge of corresponding targets are also discussed in this article. We hope more platelet aggregation inhibitors with efficacy and safety will be discovered in the future.
