Aspirin aluminum, chemically known as aluminum acetylsalicylate, is a specialty chemical used as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. It combines acetylsalicylic acid with aluminum to form a salt that may reduce gastrointestinal irritation compared to standard aspirin. This high-purity reagent (≥99%) is employed in research, drug manufacturing, and formulation of medications for treating mild to moderate pain (e.g., headaches, toothaches, muscle aches), fever, and inflammation (e.g., arthritis). It is also utilized in veterinary medicine for similar purposes in animals. Structure confirmed by IR and NMR; appears as a white to off-white solid.
