Figure 4 Activation of clopidogrel via cytochrome P450 Figure 4 | Activation of clopidogrel via cytochrome P450. a | Normal activation of clopidogrel occursvia CYP2C19. b | Loss-of-function mutation of CYP2C19 leads to reduced activation of clopidogrel. c | A possible reduced activation of clopidogrel has been suggested in patients on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy (particularly for omeprazole) due to competition for the same pathway.
