aspirin and Vitiligo

aspirin has been researched along with Vitiligo in 4 studies

Aspirin: The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p5)
acetylsalicylate : A benzoate that is the conjugate base of acetylsalicylic acid, arising from deprotonation of the carboxy group.
acetylsalicylic acid : A member of the class of benzoic acids that is salicylic acid in which the hydrogen that is attached to the phenolic hydroxy group has been replaced by an acetoxy group. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with cyclooxygenase inhibitor activity.

Vitiligo: A disorder consisting of areas of macular depigmentation, commonly on extensor aspects of extremities, on the face or neck, and in skin folds. Age of onset is often in young adulthood and the condition tends to progress gradually with lesions enlarging and extending until a quiescent state is reached.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Chronic administration of low-dose oral aspirin can down-regulate the PBMC proinflammatory cytokine production in active vitiligo with concomitant arrest of disease activity."9.11Decreased proinflammatory cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from vitiligo patients following aspirin treatment. ( Zailaie, MZ, 2005)
"Low-dose oral aspirin treatment of active vitiligo patients can cause significant reduction in the acute serum immunologic markers of T cell activation, V-IgG activity and sIL-2R concentration with concomitant arrest of disease activity."9.11Aspirin reduces serum anti-melanocyte antibodies and soluble interleukin-2 receptors in vitiligo patients. ( Zailaie, MZ, 2005)
"The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), otherwise known as aspirin, at different concentrations on the release rates of the pro-inflammatory mediators, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) from in vitro cultured melanocytes obtained from normal pigmented skin of patients with active vitiligo."3.72The effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the release rates of leukotrienes B4 and C4 from cultured skin melanocytes of active vitiligo. ( Zailaie, MZ, 2004)
