NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

choline salicylate

The choline salt of salicylic acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic and immunomodulating activities. Upon oral administration, salicylic acid irreversibly acetylates cyclooxygenases I and II, thereby inhibiting prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and the PG-associated inflammation, fever and pain. This agent may induce cancer cell apoptosis and modulate the immune response.
