Aspirin was originally made from certain flowering plants, like willow trees. In 1827, a Spanish noblewoman discovered this from bringing willow bark back from a Spanish expedition, and was named after her, as Cinchona.

∙ 10y ago"Aspirin" is a contraction of the German "acetylierte spirsäure", with a generic chemical "-in" suffix.
"Acetylierte spirsäure", means "acetylated meadowsweet." Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is an herbal source of salicylic acid. The German name "spirsäure" comes from the Latin name for the plant, "Spiraea".

What are the different types of aspirin?
Primarily, there is aspirin and enteric coated aspirin. The advantage of enteric coated aspirin is that it does not dissolve in your stomach, but in your guts instead, therefore reducing the risk of gastric irritation and bleeding. Bayer has introduced "New Aspirin". In his formulation the particle size is smaller and therefore it absorbs faster thus acting faster. There are other molecules of aspirin under development; NO-aspirin produces NO that protects gastric lining. SH-aspirin is more effective on cancer cells. Recent publications show a combination of these two, called NOSH-aspirin is extremely potent and may have a role in cancer treatment. Rajesh K. Sharma
