Q

what is the pKa of warfarin and which is the ionisable group

A

warfarin is acidic as the OH substituted on position 3 (becomes an enol) and is ionisable (vs regular OH) and can form a Na salt

pKa is 5.1

O- conjugated with double bond thus can form resonance and is stable -> thus forming enolic anion

note that in order to form a Na salt, a base is required thus warfarin is acidic

Q

what is the moa of warfarin

A

vitK is a cofactor for glutamic acid residue on N terminal of II, VII, IX, X and protein C to form gamma glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) enzyme which causes conformational changes to protein by chelation with Ca ions thus activating these vitK dependent clotting factor

these clotting factors and GGRX are important for post translational carboxylation of prothrombin

in this process, vitK hydroquinone is converted to vitK epoxide in presence of O2 and CO2 which then under goes redox cycling whereby the epoxide is reduced by vitK epoxide reductase (VKOR)C1 to vit K which is in turn converted back to vitK hydroquinone by vitK reductase (VKR)

warfarin is vitK antagonists that act on VKOR and VKR such that it leads to the eventual decr in recycling of vitK into vitK hydroquinone

what might long term and frequent use of diclofenac may cause and how

A

hepatotoxicity

A

ortho-anilino group increases COX binding and the two CH3 groups promote non coplanarity

71
Q

how is mefenamic acid converted to eventually becoming eliminated

A

3’ CH3 group oxidised into CH2OH then COOH during phase 1 metabolism then COOH undergo glucoronidation in phase 2 metabolism then eliminated

72
Q

list examples of selective COX2 inhibitors

A

celecoxib and etoricoxib

73
Q

how is selectivity for a target site (specifically COX2) achieved

A

by having a large enough structure to be rejected by COX1 active site but is able to bind to an allosteric binding pocket that serves as a secondary site for enzyme inhibition

74
Q

what are the properties of COX2 inhibitors (regarding s/e)

A

reduced damaging effects to gastric and intestinal mucosa bc of its larger size

but more selective COX2 inhibition may give risk to higher risk for PLT aggregation-facilitated cardiovascular damage

bind to allosteric site of enzyme such that enzyme undergoes conformational changes thus cannot bind to its target

76

ibuprofen is acidic but etoricoxib is non acidic

77
Q

why do gout attacks occur

A

occurs when uric acid accumulates and increases in conc such that there is precipitation of uric acid crystals

78
