5-Acetylsalicylic acid

Description:
5-Acetylsalicylic acid, also known as acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin, is a widely recognized nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with the CAS number 13110-96-8. It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone, but only sparingly soluble in water. The compound features an acetyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group, contributing to its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, mediators of inflammation and pain. 5-Acetylsalicylic acid is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and alleviate inflammation. Additionally, it has antiplatelet effects, making it useful in cardiovascular disease prevention. However, it can cause gastrointestinal irritation and should be used with caution in certain populations, such as those with peptic ulcer disease or bleeding disorders. Overall, its therapeutic benefits are well-established, making it a staple in both clinical and over-the-counter settings.
