Description

Salicylic acid is a weak organic acid that is used as a plant hormone. It has been shown to have enzyme activities that may be involved in the regulation of glycol ether metabolism, photosynthetic activity, p-hydroxybenzoic acid biosynthesis and nutrient solution. Salicylic acid also inhibits nitrite ion production by reacting with acetylsalicylic, which is an inhibitor of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Salicylic acid may inhibit transcriptional regulation by steric interactions with DNA or by binding to regulatory proteins. The structural analysis of salicylic acid shows an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and carbonyl group which could lead to enzyme inhibition.
