Eptifibatide inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly binding to the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa of human platelets, thus preventing the binding of fibrinogen and adhesion proteins such as fibronectin, vitronectin, and von Willebrand ...

Critical Analysis of Thrombocytopenia Associated With Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors and Potential Role of Zalunfiban, a Novel Small Molecule Glycoprotein Inhibitor, in Understanding the Mechanism(s) [PDF]
Thrombocytopenia is a rare but serious complication of the intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa; integrin αIIbβ3) receptor inhibitors (GPIs), abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban. The thrombocytopenia ranges from mild (50 000–100 000 platelets/

Stabilization of eptifibatide by cosolvents [PDF]
Eptifibatide is a potent and highly specific inhibitor of platelet receptor glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and is indicated in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome. The commercial product Integrilin(R) (eptifibatide) Injection requires a cold/refrigerator storage condition.

Profound Thrombocytopenia Associated With Administration of Eptifibatide [PDF]
Acute profound thrombocytopenia may be associated with the administration of eptifibatide, a glycoprotein antagonist. A case report of a 61-year-old male is presented. The reported incidence of acute profound thrombocytopenia associated with eptifibatide is 0.1% to 1.0% and usually occurs within 24 hours following therapy.

Addition of eptifibatide and manual thrombus aspiration to ticagrelor does not improve long-term survival after STEMI treated with primary PCI [PDF]
Background: Current guidelines recommend that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI) and manual aspiration thrombectomy should not be routinely used in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous ...
