MOA: Inhibition of COX
2 Types of COX
- COX 1
* COX 2
– Constitutive enzyme
– produced by most cells as part of their function
– synthesis of PGs with maintenance functions
- cytoprotection
- vasodilation
COX 1
– Inducible Enzyme
– found in immune cells
– Produced in the setting of inflammation
COX 2
‼️‼️‼️
In ENDOTHELIAL cells, COX 2 is constitutive
– synthesis of PGI2 & PGE 2
- Anti-agreggants
NSAIDs
– Nonselective COX inhibitors
– Selective/ Specifix COX2 Inhibitors
Non-narcotic
- Para-amino phenols
* NSAIDs
