2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is present in blood plasma and urine of healthy human volunteers after aspirin ingestion and its identity has been confirmed by mass spectrometry and by electrochemical analysis.
Abstract
2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is present in blood plasma and urine of healthy human volunteers after aspirin ingestion. Its identity has been confirmed by mass spectrometry and by electrochemical analysis. Methods for its identification and measurement are described. The concentration of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid is much lower than that of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, salicylic acid or salicyluric acid.

The study of free radical reactions is not an isolated and esoteric branch of science and it is hoped that the careful techniques needed to assess the biological role of free radicals will become more widely used.

It is proposed that conversion of salicylate into 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate, or of other aromatic compounds into specific hydroxylated products, may be a useful assay for .OH formation in the human body.

Rats and mice administered up to 600 mg/kg chronically have shown no signs of toxicity and the chelation is specific for iron; there were no changes in the amounts of urinary calcium, magnesium, copper or zinc.

The sulphur-containing drugs, metiazinic acid, piroxicam, penicillamine and sulindac as well as the indole derivative indomethacin, protect the virus from inactivation by the model peroxy radical CC13O2.

Evidence is presented suggesting that the inhibition of peroxidation is due to the ability of 2,3‐DHB to scavenge free radicals via quinone formation, a mechanism analogous to that proposed for vitamin E.

A high pressure liquid chromatographic method was used to measure the serum concentrations of salicylic, salicyluric and gentisic acids in patients receiving chronic acetylsalicylic acid therapy, and there was good correlation between this method and the established colorimetric assay for salcylic acid.

It is indicated that aspirin, even at low doses, not only affects the platelet cyclooxygenase activity but also exerts reversible inhibition of 12-HETE formation, both in vitro and ex vivo.

The data suggest ready equilibration of these compounds between the plasma and synovial spaces and no evidence was obtained to implicate peripheral conversion of salicylate to gentisate in inflamed joints where oxy radicals may be produced.

The presence of significant gentisic acid concentrations in SF could contribute to the therapeutic response to chronic salicylate therapy, since its antiinflammatory effect is even greater than that of acetylsalicylic acid.
