-as of [2 MARCH 2024]

.

*from latin salix –> ‘willow tree‘*

.

-β€˜salicylic acid’ is a ‘mono-hydroxybenzoic acid’-
(a type of ‘phenolic acid’ + a ‘beta hydroxy acid’)

.

(this ‘color-less crystalline organic acid’ is widely used in ‘organic synthesis’ + functions as a ‘plant hormone’)

(it is derived from the ‘metabolism’ of ‘salicin’)

(in addition to serving as an important active ‘metabolite’ of ‘aspirin’ (acetylsalicylic acid), which acts in part as a ‘pro-drug’ to ‘salicylic acid’, it is probably best known for its use as a key ingredient in ‘topical anti-acne products’)

(the ‘salts’ + ‘esters’ of ‘salicylic acid’ are known as ‘salicylates’)

(the medicinal part of the plant is the ‘inner bark’)

.

(it is on the “WHO model list of ‘essential medicines'”, the most important medications needed in a ‘basic health system’)
