Description General description Aspirin belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet properties. Its mode of action involves interfering with the synthesis of prostaglandins by competing with the cyclooxygenase enzyme for the active site on the substrate molecule. It has been also postulated to show anti-tumor activity. Application Aspirin may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by chromatography techniques. These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
