Despite advancements in treatments for acute coronary syndromes over the last 10 years, they continue to be life-threatening disorders.

The thienopyridine class of P2Y12 receptor antagonists, clopidogrel and prasugrel, have demonstrated efficacy. However, their use
is associated with several limitations, including the need for metabolic activation and irreversible P2Y12 receptor binding causing prolonged recovery of platelet function.
