COX-2 selectivity is lost w/ concomitant ASA
osteochonral junction is composed of
subchondral bone and cartilage
In OA, Initial
thickening of articular cartilage followed by fibrillation, degradation and erosion
osteophytes
new bone formation at joint margins in OA
with disease progression in OA, there is
vascular invasion & calcifaction of nearby articular cartilage-> decreased thickness of cartilage, bone remodeling & enhanced cartilage deterioration
primary enzymes responsible for the degradation of cartilage are:
the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)- MMP-13 specificty for collagen type II.
in OA, these are over expressed and inhibitors get overwhelmed
What secretes MMPs?
synovial cells and chondrocytes
Inhibitors of MMPs:
Alpha-2-macroglobulin and TIMPs
OA symptoms
Localized, deep, aching pain; pain on motion and joint stiffness < 30min
Heberden’s nodes
bony enlargements of DIP (ends of fingers)
Bouchard’s Nodes
bony enlargements of PIP (middle of fingers) 10X more common in women
Crepitus
cracking noise caused by bones rubbing each other
Labs in OA are
generally normal
ESR may be slightly elevated
X-ray in OA will show
narrowing of joint space, appearance of marginal osteophytes, subchondral bone sclerosis or cyst formation->eventually joint deformity
COX-1
present in many cells and responsible for housekeeping functions- increase gastric mucus, release of PGE2 to control release of gastric acid, motility, control renal blood flow, produce TXA2 in plateleys
COX-2
inducible at sites of injury or damage. Also present naturally in CNS, kidney and bone
first line treatment for OA
APAP
- primarily CNS MOA (COX-2)
APAP does NOT
produce GI irritation
affect bleeding or excretion of uric acid
respiratory or CV effects
APAP COX MOA
scavenges & eliminates peroxide tone
periheral COX protected by excess peroxides produced at sites of inflammation- overcome APAP
Critical radical needed to produce COX activity is generated by abstracting an electron from
tyrosine 385
APAP 3 MOA hypothesis
- inhibition of COX
- central serotonergic mechanism
- endocannabinoid pathway
____ & ____ block activity of APAP
5-HT3 antagonists & antagonists of cannabinoid BC-1
Main elimination of APAP
via glucuronide & sulfate conjugation pathways- but can become overwhelmed in high concentrations
too much APAP forces it through:
P450-CYP3#4 and CYP2E1 to NAPQI
NAPQI is elimiated
by conjugation to GSH and excreted in urine
in APAP overdose, GSH:
becoe depleted & NAPQI reacts with critical molecules of the cell
hepatotoxicity of APAP dose
10-15g
Death from liver damage of APAP dose
> 20g
treatment of APAP overdose
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine- GSH precursor; best if given w/in 10 hours
Aspirin chemical name
acetyl salicylic acid; developed by Felix Hoffman
Aspirin is a _____ inhibitor
irreversible COX-1; acetylates Ser530
NSAIDs block:
prostaglandin biosynthesis
Positive effects of NSAIDs by inhibition of _____
COX-2 (CV problems)
Adverse effects of NSAIDs by inhibition of ____
COX-1 (GI problems)
COX-1 vs COX-2
Iso 434 and 523 are substituted for valines in COX-2
COX-2 selective inhibitors tend to be
larger V shaped molecules
