Acetylsalicylate (ASA-) is hydrolyzed by two plasma esterases. About 80% of aspirin esterase activity in the blood is due to the erythrocyte enzyme butyrylcholine esterase (pseudocholinesterase, BCHE). BCHE hydrolyzes acetylsalicylate (ASA-), producing acetate and salicylate (Rainsford et al, 1980; Costello & Green, 1983).
