Evolution of Salicylates from Ancient Egypt to Modern Medicine
Salicylates derived from willow bark, with roots dating back to ancient Egypt, have been utilized for their pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. The discovery of acetosicylic acid, known as aspirin, in the 1890s revolutionized salicylate usage due to its reduced irritant effects on the stomach, making it a widely preferred medication since then.
