Our progress in fighting pain hasn't progressed much since 1874, but organic chemistry has. ... Nomenclature makes organic chemists (more) crazy. (4) Aspirin is the only NSAID to inhibit COX by ...

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is one drug that any chemist would predict, based on the chemical structure alone, to be relatively unstable. This is because aspirin belongs to a class of organic ...

Mandal said this work has required a unique interdisciplinary team with expertise in inflammation signaling biology and organic chemistry. They also showed that aspirin slows the breakdown of the ...

Aspirin is not only an important drug but also an interesting physics model system in which molecular vibrations and electrons are coupled in a particular way. For the first time, X-ray ...

Dynamic aspirin -- molecular vibrations drive electrons over large distances. Forschungsverbund Berlin. Journal Structural Dynamics DOI 10.1063/1.5079229 ...

The mechanism behind aspirin's anti-cancer effect. Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a molecule produced by blood platelets.

The scientists believe anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin could offer a solution to this problem, by countering the effects of this molecule. Patient trials. They are now planning to test their ...

Salicylic acid 2 (Figure 2) was the Molecule of the Week for August 25, 2015. It occurs naturally in willow trees and other plant species; and it is commercially biosynthesized from phenylalanine. It ...
