NOSH-aspirin
NOSH-aspirin
NOSH-aspirin (pronunciation: /ˈnɒʃ ˈæspɪrɪn/) is a novel anti-inflammatory drug that combines the properties of aspirin and nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donors.
Etymology
The term "NOSH-aspirin" is an acronym derived from the names of the three components that make up the drug: Nitric Oxide (NO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), and Aspirin.
Usage
NOSH-aspirin is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is designed to provide the benefits of aspirin, but with fewer side effects due to the addition of NO and H2S. These two gases have been shown to have various beneficial effects, including anti-inflammatory and gastro-protective properties.
