Triflusal is an anti-inflammatory antithrombotic platelet aggregation inhibitor with a 3-fold mechanism of action.
Triflusal is an anti-inflammatory antithrombotic platelet aggregation inhibitor with a 3-fold mechanism of action. It is an irreversible inhibitor of COX-1 inhibiting thromboxane A2, preventing aggregation; it preserves vascular prostacyclin, thus promoting anti-aggregant effect. Triflusal blocks phosphodiesterase leading to an increase in cAMP levels promoting anti-aggregant effect due to inhibition of calcium mobilization.

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a condition that stimulates an intense inflammatory response. No ideal treatment exists. Triflusal is an antiplatelet salicylate derivative with anti-inflammatory effects. S-adenosylmethionine is a metabolic precursor for glutathione, an endogenous antioxidant. Dextromethorphan is a low-affinity N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor

Triflusal is a derivative of acetylsalicylic acid but it exhibits different pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties. The object of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of additional use of triflusal in patients who underwent drug-eluting stent implantation. First, we prospectively
The preparation, characterization, and analysis of physicochemical and biological properties of a new bioactive polymer system, based on a copolymer of an acrylic derivative of triflusal (a molecule with chemical structure related to aspirin with antiaggregating activity for platelets) is
