• Description: Acetylsalicylic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in the inflammatory response. Acetylsalicylic acid is used to prevent heart attacks or strokes. It has been shown to inhibit the migration of neutrophils and monocytes, with minimal toxicity. Acetylsalicylic acid also inhibits the binding of integrin receptors to their ligands on endothelial cells, which prevents platelet aggregation. The drug can cause drug interactions with other drugs such as clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid, which may lead to increased bleeding. Acetylsalicylic acid is a natural compound found in plants such as willow bark and meadowsweet. It has been shown to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties in mice studies, but there is not enough evidence for its effectiveness in humans.
