1 Aspirin at high concentrations of 10 and 20 mM inhibited de novo protein synthesis as demonstrated by inhibition of [35S]methionine incorporation into total islet protein and by inhibition of rabbit reticulocyte expression by Brome mosaic virus mRNA, suggesting that inhibition of iNOS expression at these high concentrations of aspirin may be due to the impairment of the translational machinery.

2 These findings indicate that inhibition of iNOS expression and NO production may explain, in part, the beneficial effects of aspirin as an anti-inflammatory agent at therapeutic concentrations, whereas inhibition of de novo protein synthesis may possibly explain clinical and side effects of aspirin in the inflamed tissues and organs such as stomach and kidney that may accumulate high concentrations of aspirin.
