What is a cox Independent toxicity of salicylate a and aspirin?

acid base disturbance
tinnitus
hypersensitivity
Reyes syndrome

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

early resp alkalosis
later metabolic acidosis, fever, dehydration
plus shock and coma

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

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

Is Reye’s syndrome related to COX?

What kind of inflammation do NSAIDs stop

LOCAL inflammation

Perfectly

Which COX has constitutive expression and has role in response to normal physiologic stimuli?

COX 1

Perfectly

How is COX2 different from 1?

This one gets INDUCED when it’s needed…. Usually pathological stimuli
-IL1,2, TNF

The kidney

Whaich NSAID has the most COX 1 selectivity and is the only one that is parenteral?

Ketorolac

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

Stevens-Johnson syndrome

if they have a sulfonamide allergy
skin looks red and hyperreactive

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

Half life of cox trumps all

Can platelets regenerate cox?

No, because they don’t have a nucleus

What is a consequence of blocking PGE2?

inhibit inflammation

- but also inhibit normal gastric mucosa…. ulcers

What is aspirin metabolize by?

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

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

-Reye's syndrome

Describe the progression of aspirin/salivylate toxicity

- 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

what is preferred over aspiring in children <19?

- acetaminophen | - don't want to give them Reye's syndrome

What are the traditional NSAIDs?

- ibuprofen - naproxen - diclofenac - indomethacin

What is the one Coxib?

-celecoxib

What are the salicylates?

- salicylate - diflunisal - aspirin

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

-COX mediatd conversion of AA into PG

difference between COX1 and COX2?

- 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

COX1's role in inflammation?

- inflammation stimulates AA release - COX1 converts AA into PGE2 - PGE2 causes symptoms

What will amplify the symptoms of inflammation?

-COX2 derived PGE2

What does tNSAIDs mean?

- traditional NSAIDS - Ibuprofen - Naproxen - Diclofenac

Are salicylates and NSAIDs selective?

- No! | - they inhibit both COX1 and 2

When are NSAIDs contraindicated?

- Asthma for sure - Gut inflammation - Infectious inflammation fever (paradox)

Risks and complications of tNSAIDs?

- Ulcer - Bleeding - Peripheral edema from high BP (b/c kidneys arent getting enough blood

What is so great about COXibs?

- selective inhibition of COX2 isoenzyme | - COX1 sparing

Coxibs contraindications?

- hypersensitivity to sulfonamides - Stevens-Johnson syndrome - toxic epidermal necrolysis

What contraindication do we still have with Coxibs?

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

Is low dose aspirin anti inflammatory?

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

What is special about the cox inhibition from ASA?

- it is irreversible! - COX inhibition persists days after ASA is metabolized and excreted - duration of action depends on cells' ability/rate of COX regeneration

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

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

Why can't platelets regenerate COX?

-because they don't have a nucleus!

MOA for aspirin at anti-inflammatory doses?

- 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!

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

-thromboxane!

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

-a black box warning for CV risks

When should we avoid use of NSAIDs?

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