Abciximab,a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist manufactured by Janssen Biologics BV and distributed by Eli Lilly under the trade name ReoPro,is a platelet aggregation inhibitor mainly used during and after coronary artery procedures like angioplasty to prevent platelets from sticking together and causing thrombus formation within the coronary artery. It is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor.
Joseph Leonard Goldstein ForMemRS is an American biochemist. He received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1985,along with fellow University of Texas Southwestern researcher,Michael Brown,for their studies regarding cholesterol. They discovered that human cells have low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors that remove cholesterol from the blood and that when LDL receptors are not present in sufficient numbers,individuals develop hypercholesterolemia and become at risk for cholesterol related diseases,notably coronary heart disease. Their studies led to the development of statin drugs.
