Comment: Becondogrel is the INN for a platelet aggregation inhibitor (WHO proposed INN list 132, Feb 2025). It is a derivative of the irreversible P2Y12 receptor anti-platelet prodrug clopidogrel that has been modified to overcome individual differences in hepatic CYP450 enzyme activity that limit conversion of clopidogrel into its active metabolite [1-2] and conversion to an inactive carboxylic derivative by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) [4]. Becondogrel is a prodrug that is converted to its active metabolite in vivo.
