| Description | Clopidogrel Carboxylic Acid (Free base) (CAS No.: 90055-55-3) or Clopidogrel Related Compound A is a metabolite of Clopidogrel. Clopidogrel irreversibly blocks adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation. If administered for the long term, clopidogrel can be associated with a modest but significant advantage over aspirin in reducing adverse cardiovascular results in patients with cardiovascular disease. |
