Abstract
Compositions and methods for anti-thrombotic and antiplatelet therapy in a subject are provided. Administration of an MAO-B inhibitor results in reduced platelet aggregation or reversion of platelet aggregation. Methods of administering an MAO-B inhibitor with at least one antiplatelet agent are also disclosed. Such combination therapies result in an additional protective effect, and in some instances a synergistic effect. The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful for treating and preventing recurrence of several cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular diseases and injuries, and may be applied to subjects displaying traditional drug resistances.
