Calcium aspirin

Aspirin calcium 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 calcium induces apoptosis. Aspirin calcium inhibits the activation of NF-κB. Aspirin calcium also inhibits platelet prostaglandin synthetase, and can prevent coronary artery and cerebrovascular thrombosis[1][2][3][4][5][6].
