To discover the antigenicity-producing mechanism of acetylsalicylic acid, the interaction of this drug and relevant salicylic acid with human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The determination of spin-lattice relaxation rates (1/T1) of some protons have revealed that one HSA molecule can bind acetylsalicylate and salicylate up to 80 and 290 molecules, respectively. The hydrolysis rates of acetylsalicylate were greatly enhanced in the presence of HSA, especially when the drug/HSA mole ratio was small. Thus, the esterase-like activity of HSA was verified. This activity of HSA was effectively inhibited by salicylate; the effect was ascribed to the stronger binding affinity of salicylate toward HSA as compared with that of acetylsalicylate. Based on these results, the antigenicity-producing mechanism of acetylsalicylate and salicylate has been discussed.

D001241	Aspirin	The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis.
