- Background: Salicylic acid is a drug used for analgesic therapy, but has a smaller effect than aspirin. Synthesis of O-(4-nitrobenzoil)-5-methoxisalicylic acid was obtained to obtain drugs with low side effects and higher analgesic activity compared to aspirin. Objective: To produce O-(4-nitrobenzoil)-5-methoxisalicylic compounds by reaction between 5-methoxisalicylic acid and 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride and to find out the analgesic activity in mice (Mus musculus) compared to aspirin compounds. Methods: Compound synthesis was carried out through the esterification of acyl halides, purified using TLC test with three types of eluents namely Acetone: Methanol (5: 5), Acetone: Ethanol (9: 1), Ethyl acetate: Methanol (3: 7). Then the structure was identified, and the analgesic activity was tested using the stretching method (Writing test). Results: O-(4-nitrobenzoil)-5-methoxisalicylic acid formed in the form of crystalline, yellow-leucorrhoea, odorless with a yield percentage of 13.00% and melting point 241-243 ̊C. From the thin layer chromatography test obtained a single stain. The identification of a UV-Vis spectrophotometer showed a wavelength of 208 nm, and 258 nm. The IR spectrophotometer shows wave numbers 3444.65 cm-1 (-OH), 2992.56 cm-1 (CH3), 1693.32 cm-1 (C = O), 1541.46 cm-1 (C = C) and 1280.39 cm-1 (COOC). In a 1H-NMR spectrometer showing 10 atoms H. The pain barrier percentage obtained at doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kgBB respectively is 39.03 mg/kgBB, 45.33 mg/kgBB, and 55.69 mg/kg kgBB. ED50 O-(4-nitrobenzoil)-5-methoxisalicylic compound is 65.92 mg/kgBB greater than aspirin compound 142.23 mg/kgBB. Conclusions and Suggestions: O-(4-nitrobenzoil)-5-methoxisalicylic acid compounds were successfully synthesized with higher analgesic activity than aspirin. Further research is needed to develop alternative candidates for analgesic drugs.
