Q

What do we get if we take too much (20 gym) of aspirin?

Q

How do salicylate so makeour body think it’s in a hypoxic state?

A
  • salicylate a stop coupling of mitochondrial ox phone…. Lower ATP
  • body thinks it’s hypoxic….hyperventilation happens
  • blows off CO2, resp alkalosis… Kidney depletes bicarb
  • organic acids accumulate because ATP isn’t made in Rebs cycle anymore

Q

What is an important side effect of celecoxib due to its sulfonamide characteristics

A

Stevens-Johnson syndrome

  • if they have a sulfonamide allergy
  • skin looks red and hyperreactive
21
Q

What is more important, half life of cox or half life of aspirin?

A

Half life of cox trumps all

22
Q

Can platelets regenerate cox?

A

No, because they don’t have a nucleus

23
Q

What is a consequence of blocking PGE2?

A
  • inhibit inflammation

- but also inhibit normal gastric mucosa…. ulcers

24
Q

What is aspirin metabolize by?

A
  • liver
  • turns it into salicylate
  • so , high dose ASA is a pro-drug for anti=inflammatory doses of salicylate
25
Q

What was the big underlined thing that he had as a contraindication to salicylates and aspirin?

A

-Reye’s syndrome

26
Q

Describe the progression of aspirin/salivylate toxicity

A
  • they uncouple mitochondrial ox phos in CNS
  • resp venter thinks that means low ATP
  • hyperventilation happens so we can get more O2
  • drop in CO2 causes alkalosis… kidney depletion of bicarb
  • organic acids accumulate because ATP is no longer generated through the krebs cycle
  • Metabolic acidosis becomes life-threatening
27
Q

what is preferred over aspiring in children <19?

A
  • acetaminophen

- don’t want to give them Reye’s syndrome

28
Q

What are the traditional NSAIDs?

A
  • ibuprofen
  • naproxen
  • diclofenac
  • indomethacin
29
Q

What is the one Coxib?

A

-celecoxib

30
Q

What are the salicylates?

A
  • salicylate
  • diflunisal
  • aspirin
31
Q

What is the main step that NSAIDs and co. block?

A

-COX mediatd conversion of AA into PG

32
Q

difference between COX1 and COX2?

A
  • COX1 is constitutive: prominent role responding to physiological stimuli
  • COX2 is the induced kind…. prominent role responding to pathological stimuli
  • both of them are in the Kidney
33
Q

COX1’s role in inflammation?

A
  • inflammation stimulates AA release
  • COX1 converts AA into PGE2
  • PGE2 causes symptoms
34
Q

What will amplify the symptoms of inflammation?

A

-COX2 derived PGE2

35
Q

What does tNSAIDs mean?

A
  • traditional NSAIDS
  • Ibuprofen
  • Naproxen
  • Diclofenac
36
Q

Are salicylates and NSAIDs selective?

A
  • No!

- they inhibit both COX1 and 2

37
Q

When are NSAIDs contraindicated?

A
  • Asthma for sure
  • Gut inflammation
  • Infectious inflammation fever (paradox)
38
Q

Risks and complications of tNSAIDs?

A
  • Ulcer
  • Bleeding
  • Peripheral edema from high BP (b/c kidneys arent getting enough blood
39
Q

What is so great about COXibs?

A
  • selective inhibition of COX2 isoenzyme

- COX1 sparing

40
Q

Coxibs contraindications?

A
  • hypersensitivity to sulfonamides
  • Stevens-Johnson syndrome
  • toxic epidermal necrolysis
41
Q

What contraindication do we still have with Coxibs?

A

-peripheral edema because COX2 is still supposed to be doing things in the renal artery

42
Q

Is low dose aspirin anti inflammatory?

A

-no, but it is good for its anti thrombotic effects

43
Q

What is special about the cox inhibition from ASA?

A
  • it is irreversible!
  • COX inhibition persists days after ASA is metabolized and excreted
  • duration of action depends on cells’ ability/rate of COX regeneration
44
Q

What is more important, the half life of COX protein or half life of aspirin?

A

-t1/2 of COX protein trumps t1/2 of aspirin

45
Q

Why can’t platelets regenerate COX?

A

-because they don’t have a nucleus!

46
Q

MOA for aspirin at anti-inflammatory doses?

A
  • it’s a pro-drug… gets turned into salicylate which is a reversible COX inhibitor
  • but aspirin itself is an IRREVERSIBLE inhibitor because it acetylates COX… so the only way we can get COX function back after that is to make more of it!
47
Q

What does COX1 make that gives us increased risk for CV probs with coxibs?

A

-thromboxane!

48
Q

With the exception of aspirin, what do all NSAIDs have as of 2005?

A

-a black box warning for CV risks

49
Q

When should we avoid use of NSAIDs?

A

-pt’s with existing CV disease or risk factors for CV disease
