Aspirin is an analgesic (anti-pain), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) medicine that works by inhibiting the production of messengers (called prostaglandins) that act on the central nervous system. This occurs because aspirin inactivates the COX-2 enzyme necessary to make these messengers

Aspirin thins the blood, and is a good anflamitant.

i think they inhibit production of prostaglandins, which is used to convey the pain signal.
