Question : The synthesis of which chemical is inhibited due to aspirin?
Option 1: Pyrites
Option 2: Prostaglandins
Option 3: Histamines
Option 4: Analgesics
Correct Answer: Prostaglandins
Solution : The correct option is Prostaglandins .
Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical compounds that play a role in inflammation, pain and fever. Aspirin achieves this inhibition by irreversibly inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid.
