What is this?


hmm...wondering what the high-tech structure is? Haha, it looks so familiar and alien at the same time.I really had passed back all my chemical study to my secondary school and matrics teacher long long time ago. This few days has been my busy days, definitely with the incoming Internal medicine and Surgery posting exam. Well, i sort of losses all the ideas of how to keep myself onto my study actually.Hehe, i mean i was unable to concentrate well and the worst thing is that i am still allowing myself to watch online chinese video series. Die...... Half way studying, i came across the name CLOPIDOGREL, a medication indicated especially for stroke patient to prevent further thromboembolism complications. Clopidogrel is actually
(+)-(S)-methyl 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridin-5(4H)-yl)
acetate

by the chemical name which i don't really know what it is...Haha
Anyway, it act by inhibiting the glycoprtein IIa/IIIb pathway, so called adesosine diphosphate inhibitor that is use to prevent platelet aggregation. By right, i should be familiarise myself with this name long long time ago before i actually come to my phase II medical study. However, i am still getting myself familiarize with all the drugs name and it's pharmacology. Hopefully, i will be able to master it easily in the near future.....
