From experience to design – The science behind Aspirin
نویسنده
چکیده
How does aspirin reduce pain and inflammation? How does it prevent heart attacks? Why does it upset the stomach? How do scientists discover the answers? This article examines research and development in the history from willow bark to aspirin to “super aspirins” Celebrex and Vioxx. Scientists adopt various approaches: trial and error, laboratory experiment, clinical test, elucidation of underlying mechanisms, concept-directed research, and rational drug design. Each approach is limited, but they complement each other in unraveling the mystery of a wonder drug.

Effect of Quaternary Ammonium Carboxymethylchitosan on Release Rate In-vitro of Aspirin Sustained-release Matrix Tablets
The aim of this study was to develop a derivative of chitosan as pharmaceutical excipient used in sustained-release matrix tablets of poorly soluble drugs. A water-soluble quaternary ammonium carboxymethylchitosan was synthesized by a two-step reaction with carboxymethylchitosan (CMCTS), decylalkyl dimethyl ammonium and epichlorohydrin. The elemental analysis showed that the target product with...

متن کاملImpact of Aspirin Eugenol Ester on Cyclooxygenase-1，Cyclooxygenase-2，C-reactive protein，Prothrombin and Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase in Healthy Rats
Aspirin eugenol ester (AEE) is a promising drug candidate, which is used for the treatment of inflammation, pain and fever and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This study focuses on the effect of AEE on five proteins which are related to inflammation and thrombosis, including cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), C-reactive protein (CRP), prothrombin (FII) and arachidona...
متن کاملInfluence of Dietary Aspirin on Growth Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Mortality due to Ascites in Broiler Chickens
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary influence of aspirin on growth performance, antioxidant status and mortality in the broilers subjected to cold-induced ascites. A total six hundred 1-d old male broilers (Ross, 308) were randomly allotted to four treatment groups, with five replicate pens per treatment and 30 birds each. The experimental groups were kept in a cold c...
