Vorapaxar (formerly SCH-530,348) is a thrombin receptor (PAR-1) antagonist based on the natural product himbacine. Discovered by Schering-Plough and currently being developed by Merck & Co., it is a experimental pharmaceutical treatment for acute coronary syndrome chest pain caused by coronary artery disease.

In January 2011, clinical trials being conducted by Merck were halted for patients with stroke and mild heart conditions. Merck is uncertain whether further development of vorapaxar will continue.
