A schematic structural diagram depicts acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as a substituted benzene ring bearing a carboxylic acid and an acetate ester, with gray atoms for carbon, red for oxygen, and light gray for hydrogen. This small organic molecule, an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), is studied in organic chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology. At the hierarchical level, functional groups are arranged within the aromatic scaffold of the molecule, which inhibits COX (cyclooxygenase) enzymes to reduce prostaglandin synthesis, yielding analgesic, antipyretic, and antiplatelet effects.
