Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA), commonly known as aspirin, is a white crystalline powder with the molecular formula C₉H₈O₄ and CAS Number 50-78-2. It is the acetyl derivative of salicylic acid and belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with analgesic, antipyretic, and antiplatelet (anti-thrombotic) properties.
Acetylsalicylic acid acts by irreversibly inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1/COX-2), thereby suppressing prostaglandin and thromboxane A₂ synthesis. This gives it:
Analgesic effect (mild to moderate pain)
Antipyretic action (fever reduction)
Anti-inflammatory activity (higher doses)
Antiplatelet / antithrombotic effect (low-dose, 75–325 mg/day, used in cardiovascular prevention)
