Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Antagonist
A class of agents that act by selectively inhibiting glycoprotein IIb/IIIa with anticoagulant activity. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists bind to and block the activation of the platelet-surface integrin glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, thus preventing the binding of fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor leading to the inhibition of platelet activation and aggregation.
