Aspirin (/ ˈ æ s p (ə) r ɪ n / [10]) is the genericized trademark for acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation, and as an antithrombotic. [11] Specific inflammatory conditions that aspirin is used to treat include Kawasaki disease, pericarditis, and rheumatic ...
The theoretical molar yield is 2.0 mol (the molar amount of the limiting compound, acetic acid). The molar yield of the product is calculated from its weight (132 g ÷ 88 g/mol = 1.5 mol). The % yield is calculated from the actual molar yield and the theoretical molar yield (1.5 mol ÷ 2.0 mol × 100% = 75%). [citation needed]
Salicylic acid is an organic compound with the formula HOC 6 H 4 COOH. [3] A colorless (or white), bitter-tasting solid, it is a precursor to and a metabolite of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). [3] It is a plant hormone, [8] and has been listed by the EPA Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory as an experimental ...
Structure of COX-2 inactivated by Aspirin. In the active site of each of the two enzymes, Serine 516 has been acetylated. Also visible is the salicylic acid which has transferred the acetyl group, and the heme cofactor. There are at least two different cyclooxygenase isozymes: COX-1 (PTGS1) and COX-2 (PTGS2).
The therapeutic effects of salicylic acids were first documented in 1763 by Edward Stone, with acetylsalicylic acid being synthesized by Felix Hoffmann, a chemist working under Bayer, in 1897. [4] Acetylsalicylic acid-derived salt compounds were first discovered in 1970, [5] and the synthesis of lysine acetylsalicylate was first documented in ...
Copper aspirinate can be prepared by several methods. In one route of preparation, an excess of acetylsalicylic acid is dissolved in aqueous sodium carbonate. Sodium hydroxide is not suitable for this purpose, because it will hydrolyse acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) into salicylic acid and sodium acetate. 2 HC 9 H 7 O 4 + Na 2 CO 3 → 2 NaC 9 H 7 ...
An exit to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol building is pictured on the day it was announced U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration is being moved indoors due to dangerously cold ...
