Oxazepam undergoes conjugation to glucuronic acid via its hydroxyl group (t1/2 = 8 h) and renal excretion (A). The range of elimination half-lives for different benzodiazepines or their active metabolites is represented by the shaded areas (B). Substances with a short half-life that are not converted to active metabolites can be used for induction or maintenance of sleep (light blue area in B).

 

Presystemic Effect of Acetylsalicylic Acid (B) Inhibition of platelet aggregation by ASA is due to a selective blockade of platelet cyclooxygenase (B). Selectivity of this action results from acetylation of this enzyme during the initial passage of the platelets through splanchnic blood vessels. Acetylation of the enzyme is irreversible.
