title: Aspirin induces non-enzymatic formation of platelet-activating factor from lyso platelet-activating factor.
abstract: Substantial amounts of platelet-activating factor (PAF) were formed when lysoPAF was mixed with aspirin (e.g. 0.04% of added lysoPAF (200 nmol) was converted to PAF when mixed with aspirin (2 mumol) for 1 h). Non-enzymatic formation of PAF from aspirin and lysoPAF also occurs in the aqueous solution or in organic solvents in time-dependent and dose-dependent manners. Possible meanings of the non-enzymatic formation of PAF are discussed.
