A New Approach Towards Cancer Cures: Salicylic Acids and its Derivatives
Sarah Agarwal
Abstract: Salicylic acid is a known component of various cosmetic products and forms the backbone of the cosmetic industry. Studies have shown that apart from functioning as a peeling agent, multiple derivatives have varied roles. Aspirin, a well - known derivative of SA is a known analgesic and is widely used by hospitals and individuals to overcome pain. Salicylic acid has been found to reduce the neurotoxic effects caused by cancer in patients. Awareness and understanding about the property of salicylic acid is a must. Many people around the world have been using it without understanding what concentrations can be useful. Our studies have tried to understand what is known to the common man about salicylic acid and its derivatives. Through our studies we plan to create an understanding about salicylic acid and its derivatives not just as a medicinal or cosmetic component but as a potential cure for dreaded diseases such a s cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Even though this research is under trials, making people aware is the need of the day and understanding the background information of the product and society in relation is a must. With further research, our study envisions that cancer death rates could be reduced in large numbers around the world, even without the development of any unique expensive treatments.
