Computational Design of CYP102A1 Variants for Biosynthesis of a Next-Generation Antiplatelet Drug DT-678. (PubMed, ACS Synth Biol) - "Clopidogrel is a widely used antiplatelet prodrug to treat acute coronary syndromes. Remarkably, we found that ascorbic acid significantly protected CYP102A1 variants from inactivation and, hence, increased production yield. This work establishes a scalable enzymatic strategy for DT-678 biosynthesis and highlights the importance of combining protein engineering with redox control to overcome limitations in CYP-catalyzed reactions."

Promising clopidogrel analogs may overcome clopidogrel resistance: 2025 update. (PubMed, Biochem Pharmacol) - "The same strategies as those for prasugrel and vicagrel were used to design new compounds, such as tipidogrel, compound 6b, PLD-301, and W-1. All these new compounds in the pipeline are promising antiplatelet drugs, and superior to clopidogrel. DT-678 and evategrel are considered the best clopidogrel analogs that may overcome clopidogrel resistance due to their superior efficacy and safety profiles over clopidogrel."
