CAS 530-75-6: Acetylsalicylsalicylic acid
Description:Acetylsalicylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with the CAS number 530-75-6. It is characterized by its ability to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. The chemical structure features an acetyl group attached to a salicylic acid moiety, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. Aspirin works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), leading to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation. In addition to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, aspirin is also recognized for its antipyretic properties and its role in cardiovascular health, as it can inhibit platelet aggregation, thereby reducing the risk of thrombotic events. Aspirin is typically administered orally and is available in various formulations, including tablets and effervescent forms. While generally safe for many individuals, it can cause gastrointestinal irritation and is contraindicated in certain populations, such as children with viral infections due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
