    Description

    Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) is an orally active, potent and irreversible inhibitor of cyclooxygenase COX-1 and COX-2, with IC50 values of 5 and 210 μg/mL, respectively. Aspirin induces apoptosis. Aspirin inhibits the activation of NF-κB. Aspirin also inhibits platelet prostaglandin synthetase, and can prevent coronary artery and cerebrovascular thrombosis[1][2][3][4][5][6].

    IC50 & Target[1]

    COX-1

    27.75 μM (IC50)

    COX-2

    1.17 mM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    Aspirin inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 in human articular chondrocytes, with IC50 values of 3.57 μM and 29.3 μM, respectively[2].
    Aspirin acetylates serine-530 of COX-1, thereby blocking thromboxane A synthesis in platelets and reducing platelet aggregation[3].
    Aspirin inhibits COX-2 protein expression through interference with binding of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) to its cognate site on COX-2 promoter/enhancer[3].
    Aspirin inhibits NF-κB-dependent transcription from the lgκ enhancer and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) in transfected T cells[4].
    Aspirin induces apoptosis by the activation of caspases, the activation of p38 MAP kinase, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, and activation of the ceramide pathway[6].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Aspirin can be used in animal modeling to construct gastrointestinal ulcer models.

    Aspirin (5-150 mg/kg, PO, once) shows significant antipyretic activity in adult yeast-fevered male rats[7].

    Aspirin is a classic gastric ulcer modeling agent that inhibits the synthesis of endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) in animals. Aspirin can also lyse mucosal epithelial cells phospholipids, resulting in increased mucosal permeability. Rats and mice are generally used as animal models[8][9].

    Dose reference for Aspirin induction[8][9]:
    (1) Model animal: Albino male mice
    Gastric Ulcer Model: 500 mg/kg/day, oral, single dose
    (2) Model animals: Male Wistar rats (300-350 g)
    Gastric Ulcer Model: 200 mg/kg, oral, single dose

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Male albino Charles River rats (200-250 g, 8 animals/group, fever was induced by 20 ml/kg of a 20 % aqueous suspension of brewer’s yeast which was injected SC in the back below the nape of the neck)[7]
    Dosage: 5, 25, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg
    Administration: PO, once
    Result: Produced a statistically significant decrease of 0.23 ℃ at 15 min post-drug at the dose of 150 mg/kg. Antipyretic effect gradually increased in magnitude until a peak effect of 1.96 ℃ was reached at 120 min post-drug. The ED50 of aspirin was found to be 10.3 mg/kg with confidence limits of 1.8-23.0 mg/kg. The antipyretic response to aspirin is dependent on the dose of the compound administered.
    Animal Model: Albino male mice [8]
    Dosage: 500 mg/kg, single dose
    Administration: oral
    Result: Caused erosion of the surface epithelial cells.
    Resulted in a decrease in the mucosal thickness.
    Induced ulcer without COX-1 reaction.

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
