THERAPEUTIC OR PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION
Platelet aggregation inhibitor.
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ASA interferes with the production of prostaglandins in various organs
and tissues through
acetylation of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase. Prostaglandins are
themselves powerful irritants and
produce headaches and pain on injection in man. Prostaglandins also
appear to sensitize pain
receptors to other noxious substances such as histamine and
bradykinin. By preventing the
synthesis and release of prostaglandins in inflammation, ASA may avert
the sensitization of pain
receptors.
The antipyretic activity of ASA is due to its ability to interfere
with the
production of
prostaglandin E
1
in the brain. Prostaglandin E
1
is one of the most powerful pyretic agents
known.
The inhibition of platelet aggregation by ASA is due to its ability to
interfere with the production
of
thromboxane A
2
within
the
platelet.
Thromboxane A
2
is
largely
responsible
for
the
aggregating properties of platelets.
