Description

Methyl salicylate can be found in Spiraea, Betula, and Gaultheria; it exhibits analgesic activity. Methyl salicylate is commercially used as an antiseptic, a wintergreen flavorant/tastant, and as a fragrance. In vitro, methyl salicylate displays both agonist and antagonist activity at transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels. Metabolites of methyl salicylate exhibit anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in vivo similar to those displayed by most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
