Aspirin (2-ethanoyloxybenzoic acid or acetylsalicylic acid) hydrolyses to produce 2-hydroxybenzoic acid and ethanoic acid. Here is the equation for the reaction

Aspirin I acetylsalicylic acid
Jun 6 2547 BE Several experiments have been described in this Journal on catalysis and hydrolysis (3)
Since Edwards has shown that the rate of hydrolysis of aspirin is independent of pH between pH 4 and 8 the reaction has been the subject of a number of studies
of the mechanisms of catalysis and the utility of the pH–rate profile for determining these mechanisms. The hydrolysis of aspirin was studied in detail by
Each student determines the rate constant for the hydrolysis of aspirin at three different pH values. These determinations are done simultaneously in one
Table I. Rate Constants for the Hydrolysis of Substituted. Aspirin Acids at 39° (Ionic Strength 1.0). Substituted. Followed salicylic acid".
The kinetics of hydrolysis of Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) to salicylic acid was followed by the The hydrolysis rate constant of aspirin in water `.
the rate of aspirin hydrolysis in washed red blood cells and whole blood. We conclude that enzyme(s) linked to the erythrocyte probably membrane-bound
rate of aspirin hydrolysis Measurement of the observed rate constant over a large pH range will produce a pH-rate profile Different regions on this pH-rate profile will correspond to different types of catalysis and the catalysis observed can be related to different mechanisms of hydroly-sis
Hydrolysis of the drug entity can be a major factor in the instability of solutions Aspirin for example undergoes hydrolysis with the resultant degradation products being salicylic acid and acetic acid Aspirin ? Salysilic Acid + Acetic Acid The rate of this reaction is said to be second order since it is dependent not only upon the aspirin
The hydrolysis reaction at pH 7 is slightly influenced by temperature the acetylsalicylic acid concentration reaching 0 4176 mg / ml (60 ° C) or 0 4179 mg / ml (40 ° C) REFERENCES Bender M L 1960 Mechanisms of Catalysis of Nucleophilic Reactions of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
The rate of hydrolysis of aspirin was measured by following the initial rate of release of salicylate anion at the isosbestic point 298 5 mMl in the thermostated cell compartment of a Zeiss
The hydrolyzing properties of plasma esterases for aspirin were investigated in human plasma and plasma from experimental animals The observed rates of aspirin hydrolysis were in the order rabbit > human > monkey > rat > mouse > dog > minipig In human monkey and dog plasma aspirin was hydrolyzed by their major hydrolases
