ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) interferes with the production of prostaglandins in various organs and tissues through inactivation of cyclooxygenase (COX), a catalytic enzyme involved in the early stages of the inflammatory cascade. The main action of the drug is thought to be peripheral; however, it may have similar activity in the CNS. The reduction in tissue levels of prostaglandins may be responsible for ASA’s analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. ASA is effective in the management of pain of low to moderate intensity associated with inflammation. ASA is also a potent antipyretic and lowers body temperature in patients with fever, mainly through inhibition of prostaglandin E1 synthesis in the brain. ASA has antiplatelet activity through inhibition of thromboxane A2 synthesis. Thromboxane A2 plays an essential role in platelet aggregation. ASA prevents thromboxane A2 formation by inactivation of COX. The inactivation of COX is carried out by which reaction?
