Q

Natural opioids

A

Morphine- (strong agonist) Analgestic, anasthesia, acute pulm. edema

Codeine- (weak agonist) metabolised in the liver (CYP450) to produce morphine which is ten times more potent against the mu receptor.
Binding of codeine or morphine to the mu opioid receptor results in hyperpolarization of the neuron leading to the inhibition of release of nociceptive neurotransmitters causing an
analgesic effect and increased pain tolerance due to reduced neuronal excitability
Anti-tussive

Modulate transmission in many sites in the brain and spinal cord

A
  • Aspirin- irreversible COX inhibition (acetylation of serine OH group)

Acute attacks involve joint inflammation initiated by precipitation of uric acid crystals (monosodium urate)

Goal: to reduce inflammatory rxn

Give

  • Indomethacin (NSAID)

      • prescription drug
  • Naproxen(NSAID)
    • Reversibly inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 • reduce synthesis of prostaglandins
      • ORAL
      • less potent than indomethacin
      • OTC drug
  • Sulindac
    • NSAID
    • oral
    • less potent than indomethacin
  • Colchicine (Microtubule assembly inhibitor)

17
Q

Chronic gout goal of treatment and what drugs

A
  • goal: reduce uric acid pool , either by

    • or by reducing endogenous production

Give

  • Allopurinol:( xanthine oxidase inhibitor > decreased purine metabolism> decreased serum uric acid
    • oral
    • prodrug activated by xanthine oxidase

    • Drug interation: inhibits 6-MP
    • Chronic gout
    • adjunct to chemo and radiotherapy (tumor lysis sy- may precipitate gout attack)
  • Rasburicase: (Recombinant urate oxidase) - Urate oxidase catalyses metabolism of uric acid to allantoin (water soluble) > decreased serum uric acid , decreased uric acid precipitation
    • ​
  • Probenecid: ( Uricosuric agent = inhibit tubular resorption of uric acid > serum uric acid decreases)
    • Oral
    • ineffective when GFR <50 ml/min/1.73 m^2
    • Chronic gout
    • prolongs antimicrobial drug activity

    • effective analgesic esp if adminitered IV
    • Anti-pyretic
    • analgesic
    • No anti-inflammatory effect

23
Q

Renal Aspirin SE

A

Anion gap metabolic acidosis

24
Q

Acetaminophen

A

Inhibit COX in brain so analgesia
When metab by CYP450 (10%), forms NAPQI that can cause acute liver failure

25
Q

Celecoxib- adverse effects

A

selective COX2.

  • GI irritation (miler than non-selective)
  • renal damage (= non selective)
  • prothrombotic effect > greater inhibitory effect on endothelial protacyclin (PGI2) which promotes vasodialation and inhibits PLT aggregation
