Despite its veritable age, it is still relevant in pharmacotherapy and its use has spread to new areas over time. Due to aspirin’s multiple pharmacological actions unified in one single molecule (i.e., analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antiviral effects), it continues to attract considerable attention in the scientific community and is subject to intense basic and clinical research. In fact, recent results confirmed aspirin’s potential role as an antiviral drug and as an agent that can block harmful platelet functions in inflammatory/immunological processes. These features may open up new horizons for this ancient drug. The future of aspirin looks, therefore, bright and promising. Aspirin is not yet ready for retirement; on the contrary, its success story continues. This 125th anniversary paper will concisely review the various therapeutic uses of aspirin with a particular emphasis on the latest research results and their implications (e.g., use as an antiviral agent). In addition, the reader is provided with future perspectives for this remarkable drug. 4950 https://doi.org/10.3390/ph17040437$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:27-dbt-20240418-135734-004$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00060142 5051 610 5550 acetylsalicylic acid 5550 anniversary 5550 antiviral 5550 aspirin 5550 future 5550 history
