acetic acid salicyloyl-amino-ester

Acetic acid salicyloyl-amino-ester is a synthetic small molecule belonging to the class of salicylamides, which are carboxamide derivatives of salicylic acid. Its molecular formula is C9H9NO4 and it has a molecular weight of 195.17 g/mol[1][2][5]. The compound is primarily studied as an experimental agent and not approved for clinical use. It acts as an inhibitor of prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 (COX‑1), thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in inflammation and pain signaling[1][3][4]. This mechanism suggests potential anti-inflammatory activity, though it has not been developed or approved for any therapeutic indication. The compound may also possess antioxidant properties and can alter cell permeability in biological assays[4].
