Application

  • Salinity stress management in agriculture: A study demonstrated the application of salicylic acid in ameliorating salinity stress in barley, revealing its potential to enhance crop resilience to saline environments, thereby contributing to sustainable agricultural practices (Hanif et al., 2024).
  • Enhanced pharmaceutical gel performance: Research on nitrocellulose for prolonged permeation of Levofloxacin HCl-Salicylic Acid In Situ gel emphasized its utility in enhancing drug delivery systems, particularly in treating bacterial infections with improved efficacy (Khaing et al., 2024).
  • Biotechnological production of withanolides: Salicylic acid was applied as an elicitor in the hairy root culture of Withania somnifera, significantly boosting the production of withanolides and phenolic acids, vital for pharmaceutical applications due to their therapeutic properties (Halder and Ghosh, 2024).

The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) controls biotic and abiotic plant stress responses. Plastid-produced chorismate is a branch-point metabolite for SA biosynthesis. Most pathogen-induced SA derives from isochorismate, which is generated from chorismate by the catalytic activity of ISOCHORISMATE SYNTHASE1. Here

Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) is rapidly metabolized to salicylic acid (salicylate) and other compounds, including gentisic acid and salicyluric acid. Monitoring of salicylate and its metabolites is of toxicological, pharmacological and biomedical interest. Three capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods featuring alkaline aqueous
