4-Methylsalicylic acid is an inhibitor of ACSM (medium chain acyl-CoA synthetase). 4-Methylsalicylic acid exhibits solubility in both water and alcohol and boasts a wide range of applications, including industrial chemical use. It is thought to exert its effects through inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blocking the activity of specific enzymes that play a role in inflammation.
