This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live.

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here.

Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.

Action Mechanism of Aspirin Draft.

Aspirin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), is a commonly known blood thinner and anti-inflammatory. It functions by targeting enzymes involved in the signal pathways results in swelling and inflammation. ^[1] The molecule targets an enzyme which produces a conformational change in the chemical structure stopping the production of prostaglandins, which are located at the cite of abrasion and are associated with inflammation^[2]. The conformational change is absolute, effecting the cyclooxyrgenase (COX) class of enzymes more specifically COX-1 and COX-1, which are associated with the response to injury and infection.^[1]

Inhibition of Cyclooxyrgenase (COX)

Aspirin competes for the binding site on the COX enzyme, preventing other signal molecules from attaching and activating the enzyme. Two known COX enzyme subtypes are known targets of aspirin, COX-1 and COX-2
