1 NCX-4016 consists of the parent molecule (aspirin) linked to a "spacer" via an ester linkage, which is in turn connected to a nitric oxide-releasing moiety. Aspirin T cell leukemia homeobox 2 Homo sapiens
2 Both aspirin and nitric oxide moieties of NCX-4016 contribute to its effectiveness, the latter occurring via both cyclic guanosyl monophosphate-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Aspirin T cell leukemia homeobox 2 Homo sapiens
3 In vitro studies have shown that NCX-4016 inhibits platelet aggregation induced by aspirin-sensitive (arachidonic acid) and aspirin-insensitive (thrombin) agonist. Aspirin T cell leukemia homeobox 2 Homo sapiens
4 In vitro studies have shown that NCX-4016 inhibits platelet aggregation induced by aspirin-sensitive (arachidonic acid) and aspirin-insensitive (thrombin) agonist. Aspirin T cell leukemia homeobox 2 Homo sapiens
5 Indeed, a 7-day course of NCX-4016 results in 90% reduction of gastric damage caused by equimolar doses of aspirin. Aspirin T cell leukemia homeobox 2 Homo sapiens
