Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is false because nitroglycerin is a nitrate ester, not a phosphate triester. Statement 2 is true; in the body, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is indeed converted to salicylic acid, which is the active form. Statement 3 is false; while aspirin is a derivative of salicylic acid, ibuprofen is a derivative of propionic acid, not specifically propanoic acid derivatives in the context implied.
