Cangrelor has not been linked to serum enzyme abnormalities or to clinically apparent liver injury, but its clinical use has been limited.</p></div><div id="Cangrelor.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Cangrelor (kan' grel or) is a non-thienopyridine, reversible inhibitor of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors (P2Y 12) on platelets and is used to decrease the risk of recurrent coronary thromboses in patients who undergo coronary interventions. Activated platelets release ADP which binds to ADP platelet receptors, causing activation of intracellular glycoprotein IIb/IIIA complex which triggers platelet adherence and aggregation. The aggregation of platelets plays an important role in the growth of atheromatous plaques, which can lead to coronary, cerebral and peripheral arterial occlusions. Cangrelor has a rapid onset of action and short-half life, making it an appropriate agent for short term intravenous use. In clinical trials, cangrelor therapy during acute coronary events (unstable angina and myocardial infarction) was shown to decrease the frequency of recurrence of myocardial infarction and stent thromboses. Cangrelor was approved for use in the United States in 2015 and current indications are reduction of recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Cangrelor is available in single use vials of 50 mg of lyophilized powder for reconstitution under the commercial name Kengreal. The usual dose regimen is a bolus of 30 &#x000b5;g/kg before the procedure followed by 4 &#x000b5;g/kg/min for at least 2 hours or the duration of the procedure. Side effects are not common, but can include excess bleeding, dyspnea and hypersensitivity reactions.</p></div><div id="Cangrelor.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In several large clinical trials, serum ALT elevations were no more frequent with cangrelor therapy than with placebo [9% vs 12%] or with comparator arms [6.6% vs 6.8%] and no cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice were reported. In addition, since marketing and release, there have been no published reports of clinically apparent liver injury or jaundice associated with cangrelor therapy and hepatotoxicity is not mentioned in the product label.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Cangrelor.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Cangrelor, unlike clopidogrel, does not require metabolic activation for its antiplatelet effects. Cangrelor is metabolized in the liver predominantly via CYP 3A4 and it should be used with caution in patients taking CYP 3A4 inhibitors which can increase serum levels, or CYP 3A4 inducers which can decrease drug levels.</p></div><div id="Cangrelor.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>There is little evidence that cangrelor can cause liver injury or has any cross sensitivity to other antiplatelet agents.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Anticoagulants/">Antithrombotic Agents</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Anticoagulants/">Antiplatelet Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Antiplatelet Agents: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Aspirin/">Aspirin</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Clopidogrel/">Clopidogrel</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Dipyridamole/">Dipyridamole</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Prasugrel/">Prasugrel</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Ticagrelor/">Ticagrelor</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Ticlopidine/">Ticlopidine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Vorapaxar/">Vorapaxar</a></p></div></div><div id="Cangrelor.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Cangrelor_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Cangrelor.BPI" class="box"><p>
