The superior efficacy of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel in the management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including a significant reduction in cardiovascular death, has led to a search for potential mechanisms for this superiority, such as in this issue of Blood in the work of Aungraheeta et al. They describe a novel property of ticagrelor in its interaction with the P2Y12 receptor as well as confirming adenosine-mediated effects through inhibition of cellular adenosine uptake via equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1).1
