Abstract

A reliable and sensitive method was used to compare the analgesic activities of salicylic acid and'aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and several phenoxy substituted isosteric pairs. Those isosteric compounds studied did not show analgesic activity. The analgesic activity of aspirin was more than twofold greater than that of salicylic acid.
