Salicylic acid is a natural product extract from Willow bark, well known as an antiinflammatory and antinociceptive agent and a close structural relative to acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).
Salicylic acid is a ubiquitous plant hormone with many regulatory functions involved in local disease resistance mechanisms and systemic acquired resistance. It is also of interest as a starting material for the organic synthesis of more elaborate COX suppressors and other chemical structures.
The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects produced by salicylic acid and its derivatives in animals are due to inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 (cyclooxygenase) enzyme activity and suppression of prostaglandin biosynthesis.
