Prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 are products of arachidonic acid which play a role in the regulation of haemostatic plug and thrombus formation. Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of both compounds but is more active in blocking TXA2 formation; based on this, aspirin is suggested to have an anti-thrombotic effect. Other possible approaches to the development of anti-thrombotic drugs are discussed.
前列环素和血栓素A2是花生四烯酸的产物，它们在止血栓和血栓形成的调节中发挥作用。阿司匹林抑制这两种化合物的合成，但在阻断血栓素A2形成方面更具活性；基于此，阿司匹林被认为具有抗血栓作用。文中还讨论了抗血栓药物研发的其他可能途径。
