Abstract

Thrombosis is the key event in major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, clopidogrel inhibits platelet aggregation and inhibits thrombus formation. It is used widely in the primary and secondary prophylaxis of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Use of appropriate animal and model is utmost importance in preclinical evaluation because of the species difference variation in the event of a thrombosis. Various animals like rats, dogs, rabbits and cynomolgus monkey are used in the preclinical evaluation of antiplatelet drugs. Recently Zebrafish have been evolved as a useful model because of easiness in handle & care and resemblance of its genetics to humans. This chapter will discuss in details about various invitro and invivo model in the evaluation of the antiplatelet drugs.
