Salicin
Salicin is an aryl beta-D-glucoside that is salicyl alcohol in which the phenolic hydrogen has been replaced by a beta-D-glucosyl residue. It has a role as a metabolite, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a non-narcotic analgesic, an antipyretic, an EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitor and a prodrug. It is a member of benzyl alcohols, an aryl beta-D-glucoside and an aromatic primary alcohol. It is functionally related to a salicyl alcohol. — ChEBI
