Niclosamide was synthesized industrially by first chlorinating salicylic acid in chlorobenzene to yield 5-chlorosalicylic acid (I). Control of the amount of chlorine introduced is essential at this step, because an excess halogen leads to the formation of 3,5-dichlorosalicylic acid in addition to (I). When (I) is heated with 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (II) in chlorobenzene (102— 104°C) in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride, niclosamide (III) is obtained [7]. 

Early Synthesis. Reported by Kolbe in 1859, the synthetic route for preparing the acid was by treating phenol with carbon dioxide in the presence of metallic sodium (6). During this early period, the only practical route for large quantities of salicylic acid was the saponification of methyl salicylate obtained from the leaves of wintergreen or the bark of sweet birch. The first suitable commercial synthetic process was introduced by Kolbe 15 years later in 1874 and is the route most commonly used in the 1990s. In this process, dry sodium phenate reacts with carbon dioxide under pressure at elevated (180—200°C) temperature (7). There were limitations, however not only was the reaction reversible, but the best possible yield of salicylic acid was 50%. An improvement by Schmitt was the control of temperature, and the separation of the reaction into two parts. At lower (120—140°C) temperatures and under pressures of 500—700 kPa (5—7 atm), the absorption of carbon dioxide forms the intermediate phenyl carbonate almost quantitatively (8,9). The sodium phenyl carbonate rearranges predominately to the 07 0-isomer, sodium salicylate (eq. 8). 

Indeed, as early as 1981 a study carried out into trace organic substances in the river Lee [3] identified a number of pharmaceutical derived species including metabolites of the benzodiazepines, phenobarbitone, ethinyl estradiol, and clofi-bric and salicylic acids. They recognized that pharmaceuticals can enter the aquatic environment through two main channels-from manufacturing processes and through patient use-and that the latter route was the most important and the more difficult to control. 

Salicylic acid, the major metabolite of aspirin, uncouples the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. This results in (a) increased use of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide, (b) lack of ATP, and (c) excess energy no longer utilized in ATP production. The result is increased respiration and raised temperature. The alterations in respiration lead to alkalosis followed by acidosis. The lack of ATP and loss of respiratory control will cause increased metabolic activity and hypoglycemia after an initial mobilization of glucose from glycogen. 

Salicylic acid derivatives form surfactants that can influence the rheologic properties of solutions. They impart controllable and useful viscous and elastic properties to aqueous liquids. 

Microspheres (10 to 200 pm in diameter) of poly(fumaric acid—cose-bacic acid) anhydride (20 80) [P(FA SA)] were shown to exhibit very strong and pronounced mucoadhesive properties both in vitro and in vivo.143 145 The microspheres were tested for their effect on GI transit of low-molecular-weight drugs salicylic acid and dicumarol. As compared with the control (drug-loaded alginate microspheres of similar size), the P(FA SA) microspheres significantly delayed the GI transit of these drugs in rats.145... 

Small molecule carboxylates are an important class of compounds that plants produce to attract pollinators,44 defend against herbivory,45 7 regulate the cell cycle,48,49 and induce defense responses.50 5 Often these compounds are esterified and volatilized. Plants utilize the emission of volatile esters as chemoattractants and signaling molecules. Classes of volatile compounds include the salicylates and jasmonates, which are ubiquitously distributed in the plant kingdom. Jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and their methyl ester derivatives, are intimately involved in cell regulation and help control such developmental processes as seed germination, flower development, fruit development, and senescence.14,17,53... 

Now the last chain extension Occurs and the completed Z-tetraketide cyclizes to 6-methyl salicylic acid. Chemically, we would prefer not to carry the unstable Z-enone through several steps, but Nature controls these reactions very precisely.
