Eicosanoids and NSAID Flashcards
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
Inhibit platelet aggregation Powerful bronchodialator Inhibits gastric acid secretion/promotes mucus Increase Renal GFR Relax uterine muscle Induces pain
Prostaglandin (PGE2)
Vasodialator
Low conc enhances/high conc inhibits platelet agg.
Bronchodialator
Inhibit gastric acid secretion/ promote mucus
Increase GFR
Contracts uterine sooth muscle (low conc.)
Induces Pain and Fever
Thromboxane (TXA2)
potent vasoconstrictor enhance platelet aggregation product of platelet COX-1 Bronchoconstrictor decreased renal function (vasoconstriction) Uterine muscle contraction
Prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a)
Vasoconstrictor
Bronchoconstrictor
Contracts uterine smooth muscle
Decreases intra-ocular pressure
Misoprostol
PGE1 analog
Inhibits gastric acid secretion
Adjunct to NSAID therapy (reduce ulcer)
Contraindicated in pregnancy (uterine contraction)
Alprostadil
PGE1
maintains patent ductus arteriosus
vasodialator (increases lung perfusion = inc. O2)
Latanoprost
PGF2a analog
used to treat open angle glaucoma
LTB4
Chemotactic for PMN leukocytes/eosinophils/monocyte
hyperalgesia
Elevated in IBD
Cysteinyl Luekotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4)
Chemotactic for eosinophils
Bronchoconstrictors
Increase vascular permeability
Components of slow acting substance of anaphylaxis
Leukotriene Receptors
BLT1 - LTB4 - none - some suppression of inflammation
BLT2- LTB4 - HPETE - ?
CysLT1 -LTD4 - C4,E4 - Pulm inflam. and fibrosis respon.
CysLT2 -LTD4,C4 - E4- Pulm inflam and fibrosis respon.

Adverse: headache
Zileuton
Inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase
Uses: Asthma prophylaxis
Adverse: 4-5% elevated hepatic transaminase must monitor hepatic function, Contraindicated with liver disease and ergot alkaloids
