Salicylates and 12-lipoxygenase activity in human washed platelets. 1986

M Radomski, and Z Michalska, and E Marcinkiewicz, and R J Gryglewski

In vitro salicylates /aspirin, salicylic acid, salicylamide and gentisic acid/ inhibited formation of 12-lipoxygenase products in intact human washed platelets which were stimulated with thrombin or arachidonic acid. Salicylates did not affect 12-lipoxygenase activity in platelet lysates. Ex vivo aspirin or salicylamide at a dose of 1 g given orally to healthy volunteers potentiated formation of 12-lipoxygenase products in washed platelets. It is concluded that the effect of salicylates on 12-lipoxygenase pathway is independent from their influence on cyclooxygenase activity in platelets and aspirin cannot be considered as a selective inhibitor of platelet cyclooxygenase.

D001091 Arachidonate Lipoxygenases Enzymes catalyzing the oxidation of arachidonic acid to hydroperoxyarachidonates. These products are then rapidly converted by a peroxidase to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. The positional specificity of the enzyme reaction varies from tissue to tissue. The final lipoxygenase pathway leads to the leukotrienes. EC 1.13.11.- . Arachidonic Acid Lipoxygenase,Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid,Lipoxygenases, Arachidonate
D001092 Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 12-hydroperoxyarachidonate (12-HPETE) which is itself rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoate (12-HETE). The 12-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in PLATELETS. 12-Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 12-Lipoxygenase,12 Lipoxygenase,12-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate,12-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid,Arachidonate 12 Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 12 Lipoxygenase
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.

D012459 Salicylates The salts or esters of salicylic acids, or salicylate esters of an organic acid. Some of these have analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Salicylate,Salicylic Acids,Acids, Salicylic
