  2. Aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin

    Aspirin is also used long-term to help prevent further heart attacks, ischaemic strokes, and blood clots in people at high risk. [10] For pain or fever, effects typically begin within 30 minutes. [10] Aspirin works similarly to other NSAIDs but also suppresses the normal functioning of platelets. [10] One common adverse effect is an upset ...

  3. Mechanism of action of aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_action_of_aspirin

    Additionally, aspirin induces the formation of NO-radicals in the body, which have been shown in mice to have an independent mechanism of reducing inflammation. This reduces leukocyte adhesion, which is an important step in immune response to infection. There is currently insufficient evidence to show that aspirin helps to fight infection. [18]

  4. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution). Such substances are said to be miscible (etymologically equivalent to the common term "mixable").

    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 ...

  7. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

  9. History of aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aspirin

    Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), an organic compound that does not occur in nature, was first synthesised in 1899.. In 1897, scientists at the drug and dye firm Bayer began investigating acetylated organic compounds as possible new medicines, following the success of acetanilide ten years earlier.
