Patent Claims: 1. A method for treating, or reducing the risk of stent thrombosis or myocardial infarction, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a pharmaceutical formulation comprising high purity cangrelor, or a salt thereof, as an active ingredient and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients wherein the high purity cangrelor or salt thereof has a combined total of selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants of cangrelor not exceeding about 1.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor, and wherein the selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants are one or more members selected from the group consisting of ##STR00003##

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the combined total of selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants of cangrelor does not exceed about 1.3% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the amount of impurity A is less than about 0.5% by weight, the amount of impurity B present is less than about 0.2% by weight, the amount of impurity C is less than about 0.3% by weight, the amount of impurity D is less than about 0.2% by weight, and the amount of impurity is less than about 0.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the maximum impurity level of impurities A and D is each less than about 0.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is a polyol.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are mannitol and sorbitol.

7. A method for treating, or reducing the risk of stent thrombosis or myocardial infarction, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a pharmaceutical formulation consisting of high purity cangrelor, or a salt thereof, as an active ingredient and mannitol and/or sorbitol as a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient wherein the high purity cangrelor or salt thereof has a combined total of selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants of cangrelor not exceeding about 1.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor, and wherein the selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants are one or more members selected from the group consisting of ##STR00004##

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the combined total of selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants of cangrelor does not exceed about 1.3% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the amount of impurity A is less than about 0.5% by weight, the amount of impurity B present is less than about 0.2% by weight, the amount of impurity C is less than about 0.3% by weight, the amount of impurity D is less than about 0.2% by weight, and the amount of impurity E is less than about 0.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the maximum impurity level of impurities A and D is each less than about 0.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

11. A method for treating, or reducing the risk of stent thrombosis or myocardial infarction, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a pharmaceutical formulation consisting of high purity cangrelor, or a salt thereof, as an active ingredient and mannitol and/or sorbitol as a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient wherein the high purity cangrelor or salt thereof has a combined total of selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants of cangrelor not exceeding about 1.5% by weight of the high purity cangrelor, and wherein the selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants are one or more members selected from the group consisting: ##STR00005##

12. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 11, wherein the combined total of selected hydrolysis and oxidation degradants of cangrelor does not exceed about 1.3% by weight of the high purity cangrelor.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the amount of impurity A is less than about 0.5% by weight, the amount of impurity B present is less than about 0.2% by weight, the amount of impurity C is less than about 0.3% by weight, the amount of impurity D is less than about 0.2% by weight, and the amount of impurity E is less than about 0.5% by weight of high purity the cangrelor.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation comprises about 16-21% high purity cangrelor and about 84-79% of the one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, by weight of the pharmaceutical formulation.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is administered to a subject via a parenteral mode of administration.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is administered to a subject via intravenous (IV) administration.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is administered to a subject via intravenous (IV) administration as a bolus, as a continuous infusion, or as a bolus followed by a continuous infusion.

18. The method of claim 7, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is reconstituted into a sterile formulation and administered to a subject via a parenteral mode of administration.

19. The method of claim 7, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is reconstituted into a sterile formulation and administered to a subject via intravenous (IV) administration.

20. The method of claim 7, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is reconstituted into a sterile formulation and administered to a subject via intravenous (IV) administration as a bolus, as a continuous infusion, or as a bolus followed by a continuous infusion.

21. The method of claim 11, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is reconstituted into a sterile formulation and administered to a subject via a parenteral mode of administration.

22. The method of claim 11, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is reconstituted into a sterile formulation and administered to a subject via intravenous (IV) administration.

23. The method of claim 11, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is reconstituted into a sterile formulation and administered to a subject via intravenous (IV) administration as a bolus, as a continuous infusion, or as a bolus followed by a continuous infusion.
