Abstract
Aspirin is one of the most commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Various potential pharmacological effects of aspirin, such as anticancer, antibacterial activity, and prolonging life expectancy have been discovered. However, the mechanism of aspirin is not fully elucidated. Herein, the effects of aspirin on fatty acid metabolism in yeast cell model Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. The results showed that aspirin can induce lipid accumulation and reduce the unsaturated fat index in cells. The assessment of cell membrane integrity demonstrated that aspirin caused damage to the cell membrane. These effects of aspirin were attributed to the alterations of the expression of DCI1 and OLE1. Similarly, aspirin was able to cause lipid accumulation and damage to the cell membrane by interfering with the expression of OLE1 in Candida albicans. These findings are expected to improve current understanding of the mode of action of aspirin and provide a novel strategy for antifungal drug design. Graphical abstract [Figure: see text].

Untargeted Metabolomics to Go beyond the Canonical Effect of Acetylsalicylic Acid. J Clin Med 2019; 9:jcm9010051. [PMID: 31878351 PMCID: PMC7020007 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9010051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2019] [Revised: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Given to its ability to irreversibly acetylate the platelet cyclooxygenase-1 enzyme, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is successfully employed for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Recently, an antitumoral effect of ASA in colorectal cancer has been increasingly documented. However, the molecular and metabolic mechanisms by which ASA exerts such effect is largely unknown. Using a new, untargeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry approach, we have analyzed urine samples from seven healthy participants that each ingested 100 mg of ASA once daily for 1 week. Of the 2007 features detected, 25 metabolites differing after ASA ingestion (nominal p < 0.05 and variable importance in projection (VIP) score > 1) were identified, and pathway analysis revealed low levels of glutamine and of metabolites involved in histidine and purine metabolisms. Likewise, consistent with an altered fatty acid β-oxidation process, a decrease in several short- and medium-chain acyl-carnitines was observed. An abnormal β-oxidation and a lower than normal glutamine availability suggests reduced synthesis of acetyl-Co-A, as they are events linked to one another and experimentally related to ASA antiproliferative effects. While giving an example of how untargeted metabolomics allows us to explore new clinical applications of drugs, the present data provide a direction to be pursued to test the therapeutic effects of ASA—e.g., the antitumoral effect—beyond cardiovascular protection.

Abstract
Acetylsalicylic acid and/or its metabolites are implicated to have various effects on metabolism and, especially, on mitochondrial function. These effects include both inhibitory and stimulatory effects. We investigated the effect of both combined and separate oral acetylsalicylic acid and acetaminophen administration at therapeutic doses on the urinary metabolite profile of human subjects. In this paper, we provided in vivo evidence, in human subjects, of a statistically significant increase in isobutyrylcarnitine after the administration of a therapeutic dose of acetylsalicylic acid. We, therefore, propose an inhibitory effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the short-chain fatty acid metabolism, possibly at the level of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Fatty acid metabolism is controlled not only by the acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetases but by some enzymes in the β-oxidation cycle. Medium-chain and long-chain acyl-CoA esters are key metabolites in fatty acid metabolism. We have developed an enzymatic assay method for determining chain shortening of the acyl-CoAs via β-oxidation from palmitic and octanoic acids in liver mitochondria. We have evaluated the assay method for detecting whether drugs influence the activation or the β-oxidation of fatty acids.
Methods
Liver mitochondria were used for investigating the effect of drugs on fatty acid metabolism. The drugs selected were salicylic acid, diclofenac, valproic acid and paracetamol. Each acyl-CoA formed was analysed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.
Key findings
After less than 5 min of incubation, the levels of acyl-CoAs reflected the acyl-CoA synthetase activity, whereas after 60-min incubation they reflected the activity of some enzymes in the β-oxidation cycle. Salicylic acid, diclofenac and valproic acid inhibited the medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetases, whereas valproic acid only exhibited a weak inhibitory activity toward the β-oxidation of the medium-chain fatty acids. In the case of long-chain fatty acid metabolism, salicylic acid and diclofenac inhibited both the activation and β-oxidation, whereas valproic acid was a weak inhibitor for only the β-oxidation activity. Paracetamol showed hardly any influence on the metabolism of medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that salicylic acid, diclofenac, valproic acid and paracetamol exert a different influence on fatty acid metabolism depending on the length of the acyl chain. This assay allows sensitive and selective analysis for predicting the pathways by which drugs exert a greater influence over fatty acid metabolism.

Abstract
Medium-chain and long-chain acyl-CoA esters are key metabolites in fatty acid metabolism. Effects of salicylic acid on the in vivo formation of acyl-CoAs in mouse liver and brain were investigated. Further, inhibition of the medium-chain and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases by salicylic acid and diclofenac was determined in mouse liver and brain mitochondria. Acyl-CoA esters were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The amounts of medium-chain acyl-CoAs (C(6), C(8) and C(10)) were less than long-chain acyl-CoAs (C(16:0), C(18:0), C(18:1) and C(20:4)) in both liver and brain. The administration of salicylic acid decreased the levels of both the medium-chain (C(6), C(8) and C(10)) and long-chain acyl-CoAs (C(16:0), C(18:0), C(18:1) and C(20:4)) in liver. In brain, however, only long-chain acyl-CoAs were decreased. The level of salicylyl-CoA detected in brain was about 12% of that in liver. Salicylic acid had a strong inhibitory activity (IC(50) = 0.1 mm) for the liver mitochondrial formation of hexanoyl-CoA from hexanoic acid, whereas diclofenac was weak (IC(50) = 4.4 mm). In contrast, diclofenac (IC(50) = 1.4 mm) inhibited the liver mitochondrial long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases more potently than salicylic acid (IC(50) = 25.5 mm). Similar inhibitory activities for the acyl-CoA synthetases were obtained in the case of the brain and liver mitochondria, except for the weak inhibition of brain medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetases by salicylic acid (IC(50) = 1.8 mm). These findings suggest that salicylic acid and diclofenac exhibit different mechanisms of inhibition of fatty acid metabolism depending on the length of the acyl chain and tissues, and they may contribute to the further understanding of the toxic effects associated with these drugs.
