Overview

Salicin (C₁₃H₁₈O₇) is an alcoholic β-glycoside which contains D-glucose. Salicin is an anti-inflammatory which is produced from all willow barks. Salicin is closely related chemically to aspirin and has a very similar action in the human body. When consumed, it is metabolized to salicylic acid. The systematic (IUPAC) name of the molecule is 2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl β-D-glucopyranoside. It has the following classifications and chemical properties:

• CAS No. 138-52-3
• Merck index 11,8293
• Molecular weight 286.28 g/mol
• Melting point 197-200 °C
