Aspirin's birthday: German chemist Felix Hoffman received a patent for aspirin
March 6, 1899
March 6, 1899
But what was before the time when they thought up aspirin? Traditionally, our ancestors reduced fever and relieved pain with water tincture of willow bark or willow. The willow bark was known in ancient times, with the help of her treated various infectious diseases and gout, it was used to relieve pain and reduce temperature.
In 1763, the priest Edward Stone made a report at the Royal Society of London on the cure of a fever chill with tincture of willow bark.
And in 1838 it was shown that the active component of the bark of the willow is salicylic acid.
Somewhat later, the Italian chemist Rafael Piria isolated salicylic acid from the willow bark, determined the chemical composition of this substance and successfully synthesized it. It was called salicylic ("spiral") acid. But the practical medicinal use of salicylic acid was not received. Only after 15 years began to use sodium salt of salicylic acid.
To obtain other types of salicylic acid, the medicinal properties of which could be even more effective, the employee of the company "Bayer" Felix Hoffman developed the technology for the production of acetylsalicylic acid.
The patent was issued on March 6, 1899. The product was given the commercial name "aspirin". This name is made up of two parts: "a" from acetyl and "spir" from Spiraea, the Latin name of the Tavolga is a plant from which salicylic acid was first chemically isolated.
