Description

Salicyluric Acid is a key organic compound and a major metabolite of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). This high-purity intermediate is essential for pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in metabolic pathway studies and analytical reference standard preparation. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and fine chemical suppliers engaged in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantification of aspirin metabolites in bioanalytical studies, including HPLC and LC-MS/MS methods.
• Drug Metabolism Research: A critical intermediate for investigating the metabolic pathways, pharmacokinetics, and excretion profiles of salicylate-based therapeutics.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Used as a building block or precursor in the synthesis of more complex molecules for pharmacological evaluation.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the formulation of diagnostic kits and assays designed to monitor salicylate levels in clinical settings.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental for university laboratories and CROs (Contract Research Organizations) conducting studies on anti-inflammatory drugs and their metabolic fate.
