3. The factors which account for the efficacy of eptifibatide in inhibiting platelet aggregation are-i) it inhibits endothelial cell production of prostacyclin,ii) it is an antagonist of GPIIIb-IIIa receptor,which prevents fibrinogen binding to platelets,iii) it is a monoclonal antibody directed against platelet-derived thromboxane,iv) it inhibits adenylyl cyclase and thus reduces cAMP production,v) it catalyzes fibrinogen degradation.
