Acetylsalicylic acid is probably the most widely used of all drugs. Recent data has provided new insights into its mechanism of action and documented its usefulness in cardiovascular prevention. At the same time we now understand better why plants benefit from new production of the mother compound-salicylic acid. Thus very old drugs can be quite newsworthy.
