Salsalate is a medication that belongs to the salicylate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) classes.

Salsalate is the generic name of a prescription drug marketed under the brandnames Mono-Gesic, Salflex, Disalcid, and Salsitab. Other generic and brand name formulations may be available.^[2]

Mechanism of action

Relative to other NSAIDs, salsalate has a weak inhibitory effect on the cyclooxygenase enzyme and decreases the production of several proinflammatory chemical signals such as interleukin-6, TNF-alpha, and C-reactive protein.^[3]

The mechanism through which salsalate is thought to reduce the production of these inflammatory chemical signals is through the inhibition of IκB kinase resulting in decreased action of NF-κB genes.^[3]^[4]^[5] This mechanism is thought to be responsible for salsalate's insulin-sensitizing and blood sugar lowering properties.^[4]

Medical uses

Salsalate may be used for inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or noninflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis.^[3]^[6]

Safety

The risk of bleeding is a common concern with use of the NSAID class of medications. However, the bleeding risk associated with salsalate is lower than that associated with aspirin use.^[4]

Research

Salsalate has been proposed for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus due to its ability to lower insulin resistance associated with inflammation and may be useful in prediabetes.^[3] However, the use of salsalate to prevent the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes mellitus has received limited study.^[3]

History

Salsalate had been suggested as possible treatment for diabetes as early as 1876.^[3]^[7]^[8]
