Aspirin is extensively used in research focusing on its biochemical properties and mechanisms of action. This compound is of particular interest due to its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, which play a key role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. Researchers utilize Aspirin in studies to understand the modulation of inflammatory pathways and its impact on cellular signaling processes. Additionally, Aspirin is employed in investigations related to its influence on platelet aggregation, which is for understanding blood clot formation at a biochemical level. Studies also explore the potential of Aspirin to affect the expression of genes involved in inflammation and cell cycle regulation, providing insights into its broader biological impacts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from TaherTaher, et al. (PubMed ID 26333873) investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of clove oil by comparing to aspirin and a vehicle control by measuring acetic-acid-induced writhing movements. Aspirin was used as a known anti-inflammatory to compare the clove oil to. -SCBT Publication Review
