Salicylic acid

SKU: orb1310417

Description

Salicylic acid, a natural phenolic compound derived from willow bark, acts as a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor with anti-inflammatory properties. It is widely used in biochemical research to study inflammation pathways and prostaglandin biosynthesis in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Although oral SA (5.5 mg/kg body weight) during the Hg(0) exposure did not reduce the Hg levels in these organs, it effectively counteracted the Hg(0)-induced growth inhibition, and improved the behavioral performance, accompanied by a series of ameliorations in the antioxidative defense and anti-inflammatory response.
