    Willow bark contains salicin, which is the basis for aspirin. In the late 1800s, scientists discovered that salicin relieved pain and fever, and clinical trials were conducted. In the late 1800s, scientists acetylated salicylic acid to produce acetylsalicylic acid, also known as aspirin, which was found to inhibit platelet function and treat pathological blood clots. A new technique was developed to study aspirin's effects on platelets, providing insights into its mechanism of action.
