23
Q

Selective NSAID differences

A
  1. ) only inhibit COX2 → no platelet aggregation inhibition via COX-1 synth’d TXA
  2. ) Less ulcerogenic (COX1 makes gastroprotective PGs), but ↑ TXA2 / ↓ PGI2 → ↑ thromboembolism
  3. ) Can ↓ Alzheimer progression and have anti-cancer effects (COX2 ↑ is oncogenic)
24
Q

Which of the selective NSAIDs are in use?

A

Celecoxib and parecoxib mostly in use; valdecoxib less so + rofecoxib withdrawn

25
Q

Celecoxib and parecoxib indications

A

○ Arthritis - osteoarthritis, RA and juvenile RA
○ Ankylosing spondylitis
○ Pain - acute pain and menstrual pain
(Has also been used to reduce polyps in FAP)

26
Q

Celecoxib and parecoxib contraindications

A

○ Acute MI / unstable angina / prior MI - due to thromboembolic side effects
○ Sulfa allergy - celecoxib is a sulfa drug

27
Q

Non-Opioid Analgesics

A

Paracetamol / Acetaminophen

28
Q

Paracetamol / Acetaminophen effects?

A

● Was classified as an NSAID; now is known to NOT be anti-inflammatory; only painkiller / anti-fever effects
● Inhibits COX only in CNS (“COX3”, sketchy says some COX2 as well); not ulcerogenic
● May modulate the endogenous cannabinoid system + activate TRPV1 receptors → analgesic effects

29
Q

Paracetamol / Acetaminophen indication

A

○ Pain / fever - mild-moderate pain, as in osteoarthritis

30
Q

Paracetamol / Acetaminophen side effects? What is the formula side effect?

A

Hepatotoxic at high dose

  • Toxic metabolite NAPQI needs sulfhydryl groups of glutathione for inactivation
  • At >4 g dose, glutathione can not fully neutralize NAPQI; can give NAC to restore glutathione and/or oral activated charcoal within 4 hours of ingestion
31
Q

What is gout?

A

● A metabolic disease with recurrent episodes of acute arthritis due to elevated serum uric acid → urate deposition in skin + joints → crystal precipitation and tophi formation
● Renal calculi and interstitial nephritis may also result from hyperuricemia

32
Q

Uric acid is a byproduct of?

A

purine metabolism

33
Q

How are nucleic acids and purines metabolized to form uric acid?

A

○ In the liver, nucleic acids are broken down into nucleotide monomers and individual purine nucleosides
○ Purine intermediate hypoxanthine is converted to xanthine by xanthine oxidase; xanthine oxidase further catalyzes conversion of xanthine to uric acid

34
Q

Pathogenesis of uric acid

A

Can be due to overproduction or underexcretion (more common) of uric acid

35
Q

Causes of uric acid production

A

○ Lifestyle - purine-rich foods such as seafood, organ meat, beer yeast ↑ urate levels
○ Genetics - variations in genes encoding for urate transport proteins in kidney ↑ gout risk

○ Other Diseases - metabolic syndrome, kidney failure, hemolytic anemia, obesity, enzyme deficiencies (such as the HGPRT deficiency in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome)

○ Medications - many drugs decrease urate excretion: ASA, ACE-Is, ARBs, BBs, ritonavir, pyrazinamide, thiazide diuretics, niacin, etc.

36
Q

How is tophi formation cyclical?

A

↑ urate level in joints → precipitation of Na-Urate crystals → phagocytosis of crystals by synoviocytes → chemokines released + pH ↓ → neutrophils attracted to joint + further precipitation occurs

37
Q

Gout drugs for acute attacks (3)

A

Gout drugs for acute attacks:

a) NSAIDs - indomethacin
b) Corticosteroids - prednisolone
c) Tubulin inhibitor - colchicine

38
Q

When can acute gout drugs be used?

A

● These drugs can also be used to treat calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (“pseudogout”)
● Diff dx is performed by synovial fluid microscopy → gout = non-birefringent needle crystals; CPPD = birifringent, rhomboid crystals)

39
Q

Acute gout NSAIDs MOA

A

NSAIDs - especially indomethacin; high dose ASA ↑ urate excretion but is not used due to sfx

40
Q

Acute gout corticosteroid drug, dose, kinetics

A

Glucocorticoids - oral prednisolone (40 mg); can also be intra-articular or s.c.

41
Q

Colchicine is?

MOA?

A

Colchicine - toxic plant alkaloid

● MOA: binds intracellular tubulin → inhibits polymerization to microtubules → inhibits neutrophil migration, phagocytosis + degranulation

42
Q

Cochicine side effects?

A

● GI effects - diarrhea / nausea / vomiting due to tubulin disruption in enteric epithelial cells
● Liver/kidney damage - including hepatic necrosis and ARF
● Myelosuppression - via ↓ mitosis due to microtubule effects
● Peripheral neuritis

43

Q

Allopurinol

● Interaction:?

A

Allopurinol
● Interaction: If given with azathioprine + 6-mercaptopurine (purine analogs), allopurinol inhibits their metabolism via xanthine oxidase → ↑ toxicity of cytotoxic agents
