DD5 - NSAIDS Flashcards
Cox1 and 2.
Which one is constitutively expressed ? Induced?
Cox 1: constitutively
Cox2: induced
Effects of Cox 1 on GI tract
think protective effects
- ↓ acid/pepsin secretion
- ↑ mucous/bicarbonate production
- ↑ contractions of smooth muscle
Effects of COX1 on platelets
[TXA2]
• Pro-aggregatory effect
Effects of COX1 on kidneys
- ↑ Renal blood flow (makes for healthy kidney)
* Promote diuresis
Effects of COX1 on vascular smooth muscle
[PGI2, PGE2] - vasodilation
[TXA2] - vasoconstriction
Effects of COX1 on Bone
PGE2- Stimulates bone formation and resorption
Effects of COX2 on areas of pain/inflammation
- Enhance edema formation
- Enhance leukocyte infiltration via vasodilation
- Potentiation of bradykinin pain-producing activity
Effects of COX2 on hypothalamus/fever
- ↑ Heat generation
* ↓ Heat loss
Effects of COX2 on kidneys
- Renal adaptation to stress via maintenance of RBF
* Present constitutively, but most important in elderly
Effects of COX2 on endothelial cells
- Vasodilation
* Anti-aggregatory platelet effects
Effects of COX2 on uterine smooth muscles
[PGE2, PGF2]
• Labor contractions near parturition
Effects of COX2 ductus arteriosus
[PGE2]
• Maintenance of patent ductus arteriosus via vasodilatory effects
Prostaglandin effects on:
vascular smooth muscle
PGE2 causes vasodilation,
TXA2 causes vasoconstriction
Prostaglandin effects on:
platelets
TXA2 pro-aggregatory
Prostaglandin effects on:
GI tract smooth muscle and secretory cells
PGE2/PGI2 inhibit HCl secretion, increase mucous secretion, increase SM contraction
