BACKGROUND: The amount of metabolites converted into active metabolites is correspondingly reduced since only more than 50% of clopidogrel is absorbed.

OBJECTIVE: Exploring the effect of gut microbiota altered by altitude hypoxia on the pre-absorption metabolism of clopidogrel.

METHODS: In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to analyze the metabolism of clopidogrel through LCMS/ MS, while 16S rRNA analysis was used to investigate the changes in the gut microbiota of high-altitude animals.

RESULTS: We demonstrated that the intestinal flora is involved in the metabolism of clopidogrel through in vivo and in vitro experiments. In addition, the plateau environment caused changes in the number and composition of intestinal microbes. Intriguingly, alterations in the microbial population could lead to an increase in the pre-absorption metabolism of clopidogrel after rapid entry into the plateau, the amount of absorbed blood is thus reduced, which may affect the bioavailability and therapeutic effect of clopidogrel.

CONCLUSION: Our results not only as a first clinical reference for dose adjustment of clopidogrel in high-altitude environments but also would be helpful to provide a statement on the broader significance within the field of pharmacokinetics or personalized medicine.
