I have some glycine. I can get lysine and aspirin. How do I make lysine acetylsalicylate?

You don't. Don't make your own medicine.

Why? I make some (not illegal, very simple) occasionally. It works great and costs me some orders of magnitude less than it would cost to buy the same amount.

Or you could just wait for Ventaleon's [0] inhaled LASAG (D,L-lysine acetylsalicylate • glycine) to be ready.

Is there any new information on them? I can't find anything recent about them.

Most recent information on aerosolized LASAG is dated 2018 [0]

Googling those people + the CEO of the company, they all seem to have moved on though. So I wonder if that company is even alive anymore.

I found this https://informaconnect.com/ventaleon-ceo-on-inhaled-drugs-fo... where the CEO said they had enough funding to produce the study but would need funding to move past that. Doesn't look like they got it.
