How is the molar weight taken?
I am trying to get the molar weight in https://bn.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/অ্যাসপিরিন with the method used here but I don't know how? Is wikidata piping a thing here? Greatder (talk) 16:49, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * On enwiki, the Infobox drug template is passed 9 8 4 parameters. The template uses those values to construct the molecular formula to display and also to calculate the molecular weight. As an estimate 9*12 + 8*1 + 4*16 = 180 so it appears to be working correctly. The actual calculation and atomic weights data are from the Chem molar mass template. The automatic weight can be over-ridden by giving an explicit molecular_weight parameter to display instead. On bnwiki, bn:টেমপ্লেট:তথ্যছক ঔষধ similarly appears to call bn:টেমপ্লেট:রাসায়নিকের_আনবিক_ভর with the numbers of each element. But the numbers passed in bn:অ্যাসপিরিন appear to be in Bengali UTF characters. Those wiki templates and math appear to need the simple ASCII numbers. See this edit that appears to get what you want.

Anti-Estrogenic Effects and Breast Cancer Therapy
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40360-022-00571-9

'Estrogen is involved in the pathogenesis of breast and gynecological cancers. Regular use of aspirin reduces estrogen levels.'

'Since low doses of aspirin may decrease estradiol levels, it could be considered a promising adjunctive therapeutic candidate in postmenopausal women to decrease BC incidence. However, further studies with larger sample sizes, measurements of estrogen levels and its related compounds in different time points accompanied by long-term follow-ups are needed to better elucidate the potential mechanisms by which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) negatively affect breast cancer.'

 * We strive to avoid primary sources in biomedical articles, and results of small academic studies rarely merit inclusion in an encyclopaedia. — kashmīrī  TALK  13:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Besides, what you proposed would be a WP:SYNTH – because the cited Iranian study does not link aspirin with cancer (but with estrogen levels only), and yet you make such a claim in Wikipedia voice. — kashmīrī  TALK  13:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Mechanism of action
This looks interesting: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/983050?

 * Mechanism of action of aspirin need to be incorporated in this main article
