- Background
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 Aspirin ). Phenyl salicylate may also be found in some antiseptic agents 5. It is synthesized by heating salicylic acid with phenol 6, MSDS.
Phenyl salicylate is used as a food additive in the USA 16.
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) 14.

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 8.
- 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 1. For more information, refer to the drug entry Aspirin.
Target Actions Organism UProstaglandin G/H synthase 1 antagonistHumans UProstaglandin G/H synthase 2 antagonistHumans - Absorption
Rapidly absorbed. Refer to Aspirin for detailed salicylate absorption information.
- 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 10.
- Protein binding
Please refer to Aspirin for protein binding of salicylates.
- Metabolism
Hydrolyzed to salicylic acid 11. 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 3.
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 3.
- Route of elimination
Please refer to Aspirin for the route of elimination.
- Half-life
Mean half-life of 1.1 h 15.
- Clearance
Please refer to Aspirin for more information.

Oral LD50 in the rat is 3000 mg/kg 13
Adverse effects can be divided into several categories 4, 12:
Eyes: irritation 12
Skin: skin irritation 12
Cardiovascular: rapid pulse, flushing 4
Central Nervous System —blurred vision, dizziness 4
Respiratory —shortness of breath or troubled breathing 4, irritation of respiratory system 12
Genitourinary —difficult micturition, acute urinary retention 4
Gastrointestinal —dry mouth, nausea/vomiting 4
Overdosage may be managed by inducing emesis or gastric lavage. Slow intravenous administration of physostigmine in doses of 1 to 4 mg (0.5 to 1 mg in children) repeated as needed in 1-2 h to relieve severe antimuscarinic symptoms. Administration of small doses of diazepam to control excitement and seizures may be warranted. Artificial respiration with oxygen can be used if needed for respiratory depression. Adequate hydration is important, as well as symptomatic treatment, provided as necessary 4.
