Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and plays a special role in the process of inflammatory response. COX-2 is a target of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can effectively relieve inflammation, pain and fever responses by inhibiting COX-2. Despite the significant study progress of inhibitors targeting COX-2, the development of COX-2 degraders remains insufficient. Proteolysis targeting chimaeras (PROTACs) have recently emerged as a fascinating technology for targeted protein degradation and drug discovery. In this report, we present the design, synthesis and detection of aspirin-based PROTACs that demonstrate effective ubiquitin-proteasome pathway degradation of COX-2 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, and the aspirin-based negative PROTACs does not promote the degradation of COX-2. Moreover, we show AspPROTACs could significantly affect proteasome degradation and inflammatory signaling pathways through quantitative proteomic data analysis. These COX-2 degraders offer valuable chemical tools and novel insights for research in anti-inflammatory drugs.

aspirin, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of various cardiovascular and inflammatory conditions, including its significant application in stroke management. The accurate detection of aspirin in biological and environmental samples is essential for ensuring therapeutic efficacy and safety, particularly in patients at risk of stroke. This review aims to introduce and discuss the recent advancements in aspirin nanosensor technology, highlighting innovative approaches that enhance detection sensitivity and specificity. Traditional methods of aspirin detection often face limitations, including lengthy analysis times, the need for complex sample preparation, and insufficient sensitivity for trace detection. In contrast, the development of nanosensors has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging the unique properties of nanomaterials to facilitate rapid, reliable, and sensitive detection of aspirin. From a neuropharmaceutical perspective, the role of aspirin extends beyond its anti-inflammatory properties, as it also influences neurovascular health and may modulate neuroinflammatory processes associated with stroke. This review synthesizes current research findings, explores the mechanisms underlying nanosensor functionality, and addresses the challenges and future directions in the field of aspirin detection. By providing a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research on aspirin nanosensors, this study underscores the importance of advancing detection technologies to improve patient outcomes, particularly in stroke prevention and management, and ensure effective therapeutic monitoring, while emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches that integrate neuropharmaceutical insights to enhance the understanding of aspirin's multifaceted role in neuroprotection and its implications for stroke therapy.

The aim of this study was to determine the rate of aspirin responsiveness in a cohort of pediatric patients with in situ xenograft valved right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduits and/or transcatheter valve replacements (TVR). aspirin is routinely prescribed to these patients. Optimizing anti-platelet therapy could promote valve longevity and reduce the risk of infective endocarditis in this at-risk group. This was a prospective, observational study. Patients were recruited from both ward and outpatient settings. Patients were eligible if under 18 years and taking aspirin. Non-response to aspirin was defined as > 20% platelet aggregation using light transmission platelet aggregometry (LTA) and < 50% platelet inhibition by thromboelastography with platelet mapping (TEGPM). Participants were invited to provide a confirmatory sample in cases of aspirin resistance and dose adjustments were made. Thirty patients participated. Median age was 9 years (2 months to 18 years). The majority (93%) had complex right ventricular outflow tract pathology. 13 (43%) had an RV-PA conduit and 24 (80%) had a TVR, with valve situated in conduit in 7 (23%) cases. Rate of aspirin non-response on initial testing was 23% (n = 7/30) with median LTA 74.55% (60-76%) and TEG 13.25% (0-44%) in non-responders. Non-responders were more likely to be under 1 year. Two patients required dose increases and one patient non-adherence to dose was identified. Four patients on repeat testing were responsive to aspirin by laboratory tests. The rate of aspirin non-response on laboratory testing in this cohort of patients was 23% and resulted in therapeutic intervention in 10%.

BACKGROUND: In the United States, leading medical societies recommend 81 mg of aspirin daily for the prevention of preeclampsia in women at risk, whereas the NICE guidelines in the United Kingdom recommend a dose as high as 150 mg of aspirin. Recent data also suggest that in the obese population, inadequate dosing or aspirin resistance may impact the efficacy of aspirin at the currently recommended doses. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated whether daily administration of 162 mg aspirin would be more effective compared with 81 mg in decreasing the rate of preeclampsia with severe features in high-risk obese pregnant individuals. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a randomized trial between May 2019 and November 2022. Individuals at 12-20 weeks of gestational age with a body mass index >= 30 kg/m(2) at the time of enrollment and at least 1 of 3 high-risk factors: history of preeclampsia in a prior pregnancy, at least stage I hypertension documented in the index pregnancy, pregestational diabetes or gestational diabetes diagnosed before 20 weeks of gestational age were randomized to either 162 mg or 81 mg of aspirin daily till delivery, participants were not blinded to treatment allocation. Exclusion criteria were multifetal gestation, known major fetal anomalies, seizure disorder, baseline proteinuria, on aspirin because of other indications, or contraindication to aspirin. The primary outcome was preeclampsia with severe features (preeclampsia or superimposed preeclampsia with severe features;eclampsia;or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count syndrome). Secondary outcomes included rates of preterm birth because of preeclampsia, small for gestational age, postpartum hemorrhage, abruption, and medication side effects. A sample size of 220 was needed using a preplanned Bayesian analysis of the primary outcome to estimate the posterior probability of benefit or harm with a neutral informative prior. RESULTS: Approximately 220/343 (64.1%) individuals were randomized. The pri

aspirin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has garnered significant attention for its anti-cancer potential. This review explores the pharmacological properties, chemical dynamics, and evolving therapeutic applications of aspirin, with an emphasis on its integration into advanced cancer therapies. aspirin demonstrates broad-spectrum efficacy across diverse cancer types by modulating signaling pathways such as COX-dependent and COX-independent mechanisms, including Wnt, NF-kappa B, beta-catenin/ TCF, and IL-6/STAT3. Recent advancements highlight the role of nanotechnology in enhancing aspirin's targeted delivery, therapeutic effectiveness, and patient outcomes. Nanoparticle-based formulations, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and mesoporous silica nanoparticles, offer improved solubility, stability, and bioavailability, enabling controlled drug release and tumor-specific targeting. These innovations reduce systemic toxicity and enhance therapeutic effects, paving the way for aspirin's integration into personalized cancer treatments. Ongoing clinical studies reinforce its safety profile, underscoring aspirin's role in cancer pharmacotherapy. This review calls for continued research into aspirin's repurposing in combination therapies and novel delivery systems to maximize its therapeutic potential.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSA), recently reclassified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a high-priority antimicrobial-resistant pathogen, continues to impose a substantial global health burden due to escalating resistance and stagnant therapeutic innovation. Colistin retains critical clinical utility against MDR P. aeruginosa infections;however, its dose-limiting nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity necessitate strategies to optimise therapeutic indices. This study investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the synergistic activity of aspirin in potentiating colistin efficacy against MDR P. aeruginosa. In vitro analyses revealed marked synergistic bactericidal activity (FIC index <= 0.5), with metabolomic profiling demonstrating suppression of key metabolic pathways integral to bacterial membrane biogenesis, including glycerophospholipid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis. Ultrastructural imaging confirmed irreversible disruption of membrane integrity via combined treatment. In a rat model of P. aeruginosa-induced pneumonia, colistin-aspirin co- administration demonstrated superior efficacy to monotherapy, significantly reducing pulmonary bacterial load (3 to 4-log CFU/g reduction vs colistin alone;p < 0.01), attenuating histopathological injury, and suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha) by 30-47%. Critically, this synergy enabled a reduction of colistin dosing to one-sixteenth while maintaining bactericidal potency. These findings provide mechanistic insights into aspirin-mediated colistin sensitisation and evidence supporting combinatorial regimens to circumvent colistin toxicity barriers. This work establishes a rational foundation for clinical translation of repurposed aspirin-colistin therapy against MDR P. aeruginosa infections.

Research conducted over the past few decades has shown that low-dose aspirin can effectively reduce the risk of developing preeclampsia. Consequently, numerous prominent organizations have adopted the recommendation to use low-dose aspirin during pregnancy to prevent preeclampsia. However, the optimal dosage of low-dose aspirin (81mg versus 162mg) remains a subject of debate. Currently, there is insufficient high-quality data to justify the use of a higher dosage of low-dose aspirin. In this review, we review the existing evidence that supports the continued use of 81mg of aspirin over a higher dose and emphasize the need for high-quality research to alter current recommendations.

In this work, a novel 3D mu PAD cellulose-based colorimetric chemosensor for multiplexed detection of paracetamol and aspirin in biological samples is proposed. The easy availability of analgesics such as paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, over-the-counter drugs that can be acquired without medical prescription, can entail a health problem if they are administered incorrectly. The development of analytical procedures for the rapid, sensitive, and accurate determination of such drugs in clinical samples is of utmost importance. Different parameters involved in the design of the 3D mu PAD system and the colorimetric reaction conditions have been optimized. Under optimal conditions, detection limits of 0.004 mM and 0.013 mM were obtained for paracetamol and aspirin, respectively. The proposed procedure was validated against two certified reference materials and applied to the analysis of several synthetic urine and saliva samples. Synthetic urine and saliva samples were spiked at two concentration levels, showing recoveries in the range of 98-103% with a relative standard deviation of 3-6% (n = 6).

Although endurance exercise is cardioprotective, episodes of strenuous physical exertion can trigger sudden cardiac death. While marathon training promotes overall heart health, running such races transiently increases cardiac arrest risk, mainly in middle-aged men with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. Coronary artery calcium scanning has been advised for risk stratification to identify those who benefit from enhanced primary prevention. Based on a 40% reduction in first heart attacks in same-aged men in the final report on aspirin in the Physicians Health Study, low-dose aspirin has been recommended for such runners and elderly persons at increased risk for sudden cardiac death during recreational sports activity. This approach may also provide primary prevention for patients with conditions such as human immunodeficiency virus infection in which inflammation promotes progressive coronary atherosclerosis. This strategy is supported by a 31% reduction in major acute cardiac events with the addition of low-dose aspirin to the polypill in persons with moderate risk factors. Evidence-based in two randomized, controlled clinical trials, low-dose aspirin guided by coronary artery calcium scoring for primary prevention warrants timely consideration, given the sharply increasing burden of atherosclerosis forecast until 2050 by the American Heart Association.
