Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) is a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them. 
They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. 

Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat. 
Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt. 
Carboxylic acids with six or fewer carbon atoms are freely or moderately soluble in water; those with more than six carbons are slightly soluble in water. 

Soluble carboxylic acid dissociate to an extent in water to yield hydrogen ions. 
The pH of solutions of Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid)s is therefore less than 7.0. 
Many insoluble Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid)s react rapidly with aqueous solutions containing a chemical base and dissolve as the neutralization generates a soluble salt.

Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) does this not by direct inhibition of COX, unlike most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but instead by suppression of the expression of the enzyme (via a yet-un elucidated mechanism). 

Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) has also been shown to activate adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and it is thought that this action may play a role in the anticancer effects of the compound and its prod rugs aspirin and salsalate. 
In addition, the anti diabetic effects of Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) are likely mediated by AMPK activation primarily through allosteric conformational change that increases levels of phosphorylation. 
Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) also uncouples oxidative phosphorylation which leads to increased ADP:ATP and AMP:ATP ratios in the cell. 

Consequently, Salicylic Acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) may alter AMPK activity and subsequently exert its anti-diabetic properties through altered energy status of the cell. 
The clinical application of aspirin varies with the therapeutic dose. 
Low-dose aspirin (75–300?mg/day) has antiplatelet aggregation effect and can be used to prevent and treat the coronary and cerebrovascular thrombosis and other postoperative thrombosis. 

The middle dose of aspirin (0.5–3? g/day) has antipyretic analgesic effects, so it is commonly used in the treatment of fever, headache, toothache, neuralgia, muscle pain and menstrual pain.
