Aspirin

Post by ahsie1 »

Hi,

I was just wondering I what intra- or intermolecular forces are present in an aspirin molecule, and how these bonds affect its use as an anti-inflammatory drug.

Thanks!

Hello ahsie1,

Your question has an answer much too complicated to give in any detail. You need to first learn some basic chemistry and molecular biology, then read about apsirin in particular.

The web has many resources you can use to learn. For example, a lot about aspirin is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin#Di ... _mechanism.

Good luck in your studies, WW
