Salicin is an alcoholic β-glucoside derived from willow bark that produces anti-inflammatory (including analgesic and antipyretic) effects very similar to that of aspirin Salicin is a substrate for β-glucosidase.
Salicin is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. It is also used as a substrate for beta-glucosidase and an inhibitor of Cox. It finds application as an anti-inflammatory agent. It is involved in antipyretic action without causing gastric injury.
Biochem/physiol Actions: It acts as a non-selective COX inhibitor, exhibiting IC50 values > 100 µM for COX-1 and COX-2.
Freely soluble in water (50 mg/ml-clear,colorless solution); soluble in alkalies, pyridine, glacial acetic acid; practically insoluble in ether and chloroform.
