Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameMethyl acetylsalicylate
DescriptionMethyl acetylsalicylate also known as methyl aspirin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acylsalicylic acids and derivatives. These are salicylic acids or derivatives, that are O-acylated. Methyl acetylsalicylate is a methylated derivative of Aspirin. Aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a commonly used drug for the treatment or prevention of pain, fever, inflammation and platelet aggregation and blood cloth formation. Acetylsalicylic acid accomplishes all these effect by irreversibly inhibiting the enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, preventing the formation of prostaglandines and tromboxanes (PMID: 14592543 ). In plants, salicylic acid and its derivatives are the key signaling molecule for the activation of the defense response known as the “Systemic Aquired Resistance” (SAR), which initiates in the plant tissue attacked by a biological aggressor. This signal is transmitted throughout the plant individual and also to neighbouring plants (by means of the volatile methyl salicylate) to prepare unexposed tissue for the impending attack (PMID: 15283665 ). Methyl salicylate has been reported to be a volatile component in cannabis samples (PMID: 26657499 ).
