Application: | Aspirin has been used: • as a stabilizer for blood during 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-pro • to evaluate cell viability of BV-2 microglial cell line • in morphogenesis assay |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Aspirin is an analgesic and antipyretic agent used in the treatment of fever and pain as in arthritis. It is also associated with cardiovascular diseases. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Blocks the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin H synthase), with greater selectivity toward the COX-1 isoform. The antithrombotic effect is due to the inhibition of COX-1 in platelets that blocks thromboxane production and platelet aggregation. Chemopreventive against colorectal and other solid tumors. |
