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.

The American journal of cardiology, 115(9), 1185-1193 (2015-03-24)
The optimal antiaggregant therapy after coronary stenting in patients receiving oral anticoagulants (OACs) is currently debated. MEDLINE and Cochrane Library were searched for studies reporting outcomes of patients who underwent PCI and who were on triple therapy (TT) or dual-antiplatelet
Connie N Hess et al.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 66(7), 777-787 (2015-08-14)
Bleeding limits anticoagulant treatment in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We investigated whether background concomitant antiplatelet therapy influences the effects of apixaban after ACS. This study examined high-risk ACS patients who were treated with aspirin or aspirin plus clopidogrel

Thrombosis and haemostasis, 95(4), 652-658 (2006-04-08)
Aspirin is widely used, but dosages in different clinical situations and the possible importance of "aspirin resistance" are debated. We performed an open cross-over study comparing no treatment (baseline) with three aspirin dosage regimens--37.5 mg/day for 10 days, 320 mg/day
Andrew O Maree et al.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 46(7), 1258-1263 (2005-10-04)
We investigated whether use of low-dose enteric-coated (EC) aspirin for secondary prevention of cardiovascular events has sufficient bioavailability to achieve complete platelet cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition in all individuals. Aspirin reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with pre-existing vascular disease;
A O Maree et al.
Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 3(10), 2340-2345 (2005-09-10)
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, the enzyme that converts arachidonic acid (AA) to the potent platelet agonist thromboxane (TX) A2. Despite clear benefit from aspirin in patients with cardiovascular disease (CAD), evidence of heterogeneity in the way
