While platelet activation is essential to maintain blood vessel patency and
minimize loss of blood upon injury, untimely or excessive activity can lead to
unwanted platelet activation and aggregation. Resultant thrombosis has the
potential to block blood vessels, causing myocardial infarction or stroke. To
tackle this major cause of mortality, clinical therapies that target platelet
responsiveness (antiplatelet therapy) can successfully reduce cardiovascular
events, especially in people at higher risk; however, all current antiplatelet
therapies carry an increased probability of bleeding. This review will evaluate
new and emerging targets for antithrombotics, focusing particularly on platelet
glycoprotein VI, as blockade or depletion of this platelet-specific receptor
conveys benefits in experimental models of thrombosis and thromboinflammation
without causing major bleeding complications.
