I learned more about aspirin in the last 7 minutes than I did in the 53 years prior to that. Thanks again, Professor Dave. I'm really enjoying this pharma-history series.

Who needs aspirin for headache relief, when you have Professor Dave Explains videos to calm life down?

My first synthesis at university was making aspirin! 👍👍👍

Can you tell me if it can be done without a Sulphuric acid Catalyst if given more time all the best buddy

Wow, this video is so detailed and accurate that first year med students could actually use it as study material, good job prof. Not much to add beyond the fact that Aspirin's analgesic effect is rather mild compared to other NSAIDs and we've got better (safer) options for anti-inflammatory treatment in most cases, so modern use focuses mainly on the anti-platelet (cardio) treatment, antipyretic or anti-inflammatory prescriptions becoming less common and more situational.

Yeah it's usually prescribed as blood thinner as for headaches you have other stuff. Don't use it when you need help to stop bleeding, goes without saying!

In some cases, taking aspirin on a regular basis can lead to chronic salicylate toxicity. This can happen if you have problems with your kidneys and liver, which are responsible for filtering aspirin👍

An amazing achievement in modern medicine. I really wish I could enjoy the benefits of aspirin and NSAIDs like Advil or Motrin. Unfortunately some people myself included, are allergic to them all. I’ve heard of people who are allergic to Aspirin but not other NSAIDs though. I’m stuck with few options but that’s okay because Acetaminophen is another fantastic discovery. Love your amazing videos Mr. Dave

You have an awesome channel! Love the fact you have an email for people! True teacher! Thanks for all your knowledge!

Beautiful graphics with the enzymes! Really helpfull, nice to see you've increased your budget!

The first lab I did in organic chemistry was making aspirin. I had a headache the day it was finished drying and we were checking yield. Prof told me not to, but I just had to. For science.

So, I was having some regular chest discomfort, and one day I was feeling some pain elsewhere. I got fed up and took an aspirin. Just one. I don't really like taking medication if I can avoid it. It helped with the pain, but also ever since then my chest has felt fine. So~ that's nice. :)

Great 👍 detailed explanation of how and why aspirin does what it does with fevers and swelling and pan!!!

Dang it Dave, now I have a profound interest in taking biochem after I get through O-Chem 2. Way to go, you just single-handedly delayed my academic graduation plan by at least 2 semesters lol ;)

Very good info, thanks.

Thank you for these videos they helping me prepare for my exam🙂

Amazing as always!

can you please explain the biosynthesis of asprin,like with key enzymes

Sir could you please spare a few minutes to discuss what large hadron collider recently discovered and how related to energy mass equivalence.....

Yes bestie! Serve us!

Pharmacology, that sounds interesting. Will definitely check that playlist out. Love your videos by the way. It's a shame that your channel isn't as popular as it should be. Oh well, you'll grow in size. I think educators on youtube are very underappreciated though, we have absolute morons like Jake Paul or that one channel pushing electric universe. Have a good one, Professor Dave. Best of luck with your current and future KZread career.

I used to have headaches often until I started drinking a bunch of water everytime tention or pressure would come into my head. It would go away every single time and now I just have the amazing habit of constant hydration. /r/HydroHomies Headaches for me are only when I don't have my caffeine fix, which could be eliminated but I'm in love with coffee lol

We still haven't found the exact cause of Reye's Syndrome. The only thing that's known for sure is that the symptoms are caused by damage to cellular mitochondria in the liver and brain. It's unknown exactly what role aspirin has in this process. It's unknown if aspirin can actually cause the mitochondrial damage seen...but it is a possibility. And even if it isn't, the actions of aspirin on certain enzymes could exacerbate existing mitochondrial damage.

By inhibiting Prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins are pro-inflammatory and that means they make pain receptors triggered by normal stimulus. No prostaglandins, pain receptors become normal again
