ln Vitro |
In human articular chondrocytes, lithium aspirin inhibits COX-1 and COX-2, with IC50 values of 3.57 μM and 29.3 μM, respectively [2]. By acetylating serine 530 of COX-1, lithium aspirin inhibits the production of thromboxane A in platelets and decreases platelet aggregation [3]. By preventing CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) from attaching to its appropriate location on the COX-2 promoter/enhancer, lithium aspirin suppresses the expression of the COX-2 protein [3]. In transfected T cells, lithium aspirin suppresses the transcription of the lgκ enhancer and the HIV long terminal repeat (LTR) in an NF-κB-dependent manner [4]. By triggering caspases, p38 MAP kinase, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, and the ceramide pathway, lithium aspirin causes apoptosis [6].

ln Vivo |
In adult male rats with yeast fever, lithium aspirin (5–150 mg/kg, oral, once) exhibits strong antipyretic effects [7].

Enzyme Assay |
The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) is critical for the inducible expression of multiple cellular and viral genes involved in inflammation and infection including interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and adhesion molecules. The anti-inflammatory drugs sodium salicylate and aspirin inhibited the activation of NF-kappa B, which further explains the mechanism of action of these drugs. This inhibition prevented the degradation of the NF-kappa B inhibitor, I kappa B, and therefore NF-kappa B was retained in the cytosol. Sodium salicylate and aspirin also inhibited NF-kappa B-dependent transcription from the Ig kappa enhancer and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) in transfected T cells.[4]
Aspirin inhibits platelet function by permanently acetylating the cyclooxygenase that forms prostaglandins. We determined the sensitivity of platelets to aspirin in normal subjects by measuring [3H-acetyl]aspirin-susceptible cyclooxygenase in washed platelets obtained at various times after aspirin ingestion. A single 325-mg aspirin dose inactivated 89% of platelet cyclooxygenase. The inhibition persisted for 2 days suggesting that oral aspirin also inactivated megakaryocyte cyclooxygenase. Thereafter, active enzyme returned with a time-course reflecting platelet turnover (life-span 8.2+/-2 days). Single doses of 20-650 mg aspirin resulted in 34- greater than 95% inhibition after 24 h. Daily doses of 20-325 mg aspirin for brief periods produced 61- greater than 95% inactivation when measured 24 h after cessation of the drug. Platelet cyclooxygenase is more sensitive to inactivation by aspirin than enzyme in sheep seminal vesicles.[4] |
Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male albino Charles River rats (200-250 g, 8 rats/group, use 20 ml/kg 20% beer yeast aqueous suspension to induce fever, subcutaneously (sc) (sc) injected on the back below the nape of the neck) [7]
Doses: 5, 25, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg Doses: po (po (oral gavage)) once Experimental Results: The 150 mg/kg dose produced a statistically significant decrease of 0.23°C 15 minutes after dosing. The antipyretic effect gradually increased until reaching a peak value of 1.96°C 120 minutes after administration. The ED50 of aspirin is 10.3 mg/kg, with a confidence limit of 1.8-23.0 mg/kg. The antipyretic response of aspirin depends on the dose of the compound administered. |

Additional Infomation |
Evidence from a wide range of sources suggests that individuals taking aspirin and related non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have reduced risk of large bowel cancer. Work in animals supports cancer reduction with aspirin, but no long-term randomised clinical trials exist in human beings, and randomisation would be ethically unacceptable because vascular protection would have to be denied to a proportion of the participants. However, opportunistic trials of aspirin, designed to test vascular protection, provide some evidence of a reduction in cancer, but only after at least 10 years. We summarise evidence for the potential benefit of aspirin and natural salicylates in cancer prevention. Possible mechanisms of action and directions for further work are discussed, and implications for clinical practice are considered.[6]
