aspirin calcium

Aspirin calcium is the prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p5)

Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) is a potent and selective inhibitor of COX with various pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammation and pain relief. Aspirin is a histone deacetylase inhibitors to up-regulate cell cycle arrest protein p21, which can suppresses ovarian Y cells harboring COX-1. Aspirin also inhibits the expression of COX-2 in HUVEC and neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, and then reduce PG production and the down-regulation of ERK and NF-KB, respectively.
