Aspirin: 120 years of innovation. A report from the 2017 Scientific Conference of the International Aspirin Foundation, 14 September 2017, Charité, Berlin

Abstract: Acetylsalicylic acid was first synthesised by Dr FeIix Hoffman on 10th August 1897 and Aspirin was born. It quickly became the best-known pain killer in the world and in the 120 years since this event, aspirin has continued to attract interest, innovation and excitement. Set within the walls of the preserved ruins of Rudolf Virchow’s lecture hall at Charité, within Berlin’s Museum of Medical History, the International Aspirin Foundation’s 28th Scientific Conference served to facilitate international, multi-dis… Show more

“…Synthetic aspirin is derived from salicylic acid, a natural compound from myrtle, willow, and meadowsweet, which has been used in herbal medicine since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory effects. Clay tablets from the Assyrians (around 2000 BCE) showcase that willow leaves were advised for the treatment of rheumatic disease; moreover, Hippocrates (460-377 BCE) prescribed an extract of willow bark for labor and fever pain [3]. In 1876, Dr. T. MacLagan performed the first clinical study of salicylate by administering salicin to achieve the full remission of joint inflammation and fever in patients suffering from acute rheumatism.…”

“…Early detection and prevention are widely recognised to be key in combatting this disease. Aspirin and related non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one group of agents that have shown remarkable potential in the prevention of colorectal cancer [ 118 , 119 , 120 ]. Indeed, it has been suggested that long term aspirin use could lower colon and rectal cancer risk by up to 50%.…”

“…However, interpatient variability to antiplatelet medications has the risk of undermining the revascularization benefit by raising the frequency of unfavorable events. Within 24 hours of surgery, aspirin is frequently advised, however this doesn't work to stop thrombosis in the critical early postoperative stage (Walker et al, 2018).When aspirin is taken up until surgery, some observational studies have showed improved outcomes, including decreased death (Rothwell et al, 2012). These trials revealed no indication that perioperative aspirin significantly increased the risk of bleeding or other related complications, despite the fact that it may have a preventive impact against a variety of thrombotic risks and reduced mortality (Columbo et al, 2018).…”
