Acetylsalicylic acid hydrolysis in human blood and plasma I. Methodology and in vitro studies

https://doi.org/10.1002/jps.2600560610Get rights and content

The in vitro hydrolysis of acetylsalicylic acid in 90 vol. per cent human blood and plasma was studied at therapeutically significant levels (below 15 mcg./ml.) by a spectrophotofluorometric method. Several new analytical aspects are presented. The discrepancies with earlier investigations are discussed.

    Although stable in human plasma, PGE2-G was catabolized in human whole blood with a half-life of ∼7 min. Enhanced ester lability in human whole blood when compared with plasma has been reported for both prostanoid and non-prostanoid esters and suggests a role for blood cells in glyceryl PG metabolism in humans (25-31). Marked species differences in plasma PGE2-G stability suggested that the parent endocannabinoid also might be metabolized differently in rat and human plasma.
