Phenyl salicylate is a 2-hydroxybenzoic acid phenyl ester. It is utilized in some manufacturing processes of polymers, lacquers, adhesives, waxes, as well as polishes. It is an active ingredient in some pharmaceutical products as a mild analgesic for pain relief by releasing salicylate (found in [DB00945] ). Phenyl salicylate may also be found in some antiseptic agents. It is synthesized by heating salicylic acid with phenol, [MSDS]. Phenyl salicylate is used as a food additive in the USA. This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as depsides and depsidones. These are polycyclic compounds that is either a polyphenolic compound composed of two or more monocyclic aromatic units linked by an ester bond (depside), or a compound containing the depsidone structure (depsidone).

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Pain and fever.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Phenyl salicylate has several medical uses. It can be used as an analgesic to relieve pain, as an antiseptic with antibacterial effect as well as a kind of antipyretic for the treatment of fever. It is also used for the treatment of inflammation in the lower urinary tract. It is no longer commonly applied to human medical practice but is still used in veterinary medicine [MSDS]. When it is combined with methenamine, benzoic acid, phenyl salicylate, methylene blue, and hyoscyamine sulfate, it is used to relieve the discomfort, pain, frequent urge to urinate, and cramps/spasms of the urinary tract caused by a urinary tract infection or a diagnostic procedure.


5.2 ATC Code

G - Genito urinary system and sex hormones

G04 - Urologicals

G04B - Urologicals

G04BX - Other urologicals

G04BX12 - Phenyl salicylate


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Rapidly absorbed. Refer to [DB00945] for detailed salicylate absorption information.


Route of Elimination

Please refer to [DB00945] for the route of elimination.


Volume of Distribution

Steady-state plasma salicylate concentrations increase more than proportionally with increasing dosages; the time required to reach steady state increases with increasing daily dose. Dosage intervals of 8-12 h are sufficient to maintain plasma salicylate concentrations in the normal therapeutic anti-inflammatory concentration range.


Clearance

Please refer to [DB00945] for more information.


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hydrolyzed to salicylic acid. Salicylic acid elimination kinetics are dependent on drug concentration because of the limited capacity of two major biotransformation pathways: formation of salicyluric acid and of salicyl phenolic glucuronide. Metabolism of this drug occurs mainly in the liver, like other salicylates. Metabolism of salicylic acid occurs through glucuronide formation (to produce salicyluric acid), and salicyl phenolic glucuronide), conjugation with glycine (to produce salicyluric acid), and oxidation to form gentisic acid. The rate of formation of salicyl phenolic glucuronide and salicyluric acid are easily saturated at low salicylic acid concentrations and their formation can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

Mean half-life of 1.1 h.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Inhibits the activity of the enzyme known as cyclooxygenase (COX) which causes the formation of prostaglandins, substances which cause inflammation, swelling, pain, and fever. For more information, refer to the drug entry [DB00945].
