NSAID general structure
Consists of acidic moiety attached to planar functionality
Salicylic acid
- salicylic acid is extracted from willow bark
- used medicinally as the sodium salt
- Active and competitive
- Primarly acts as COX 1 inhibitor
Acetyl Salicylic Acid, ASA, Aspirin
It has enhanced therapeutic utility because of esterification of phenolic hydroxyl group and hydrophobic substitution at C-5
Long term use can change pH of stomach and cause damage
It is active, non-competitive
It is a strong organic acid
Potency: 750 mg
Salicylates
General characteristics
potent anti-inflammatory activity
mild analgesic
antipyretic activity
Toxicity: GI irritation, HSR, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and ototoxicity
Has ability to participate in transacetylation rxn
Acetylation of COX = irreversible inhibition of enzyme
Acetylation of circulating proteins = HSR
Diflunisal
Competitve
Longer t 1/2 = 8-12 hr
More potent than aspirin
Salsalate
Inactive, not potent
Dimer absorbed and then acted upon by esterases and forms ASA
Irritation due to COX inhibition
Renal Insufficiency
- cause by inhibtion of PGE2, PGI2
- Inc in water and sodium retention
- Inc BP
- problem for CHF or hypovolemic pt
Irritation due to COX inhibition
Electorlyte Imbalances
- generally unique to salicylates in large doses
- Kids are more prone
- bengay can cause this imbalance
- Phase 1: hyperventilation, increase expolsion of CO2 which increases pH of blood leading to respiratory alkalosis
- Phase 2: increase excretion of potassium leading to acidic urine
- Phase 3: continued hypokalemia, dehydration, coma, death
Irritation due to COX inhibition
Reye’s Syndrome
Seen in children recovering from mild viral infection
20-30% mortality
Accumulation of fatty tissue in variety of organs (brain, iver)
more associated with aspirin due to fact that aspirin uncouples oxidative phosphorylation
Cells become comprimsed due to uncoupling
ASA characteristics
extensively bound to plasma albumin
Highly bound by plasma proteins
DDI possible ie Warfarin
Undergoes glycine conjugation, ring hydroxylation, carboyl and phenol glucuronidation conjugation.
Eliminated by renal metabolism
IC 50 ratio: 166, COX 1 preference
lower IC 50 = better
Propionic Acid Derivatives
General Characteristics
Profens
strong organic acid (pKa = 3-5)
Form water soluble salts with alkaline reagents
alpha-CH3 substituent increase COX inhibitory activity and reduces toicity of profens
S enantiomer is more potent
Naproxen is only one NOT marketed as racemate
Well absorbed orally
t 1/2 = 2-5 hr
Naproxen t 1/2 = 12-15 hours
Metabolism = oxidation of side chain or aromatic ring. glucuronidation also possible
Undergo a metabolic inversion at chiral carbon. Go from R (inactive) to S
Ibuprofen
take TID
Potency: 500 mg, 1.5 times that of aspirin
Can undergo hydroxylation via CYP2C9, 2C13
Can undergo further hydroxylation to COOH
Can undergo gluc
Naproxen
Only S isomer given
take BID
has naphthyl ring
Most selective of profens (still non-selective)
COX 2 ratio = less than 1
Potency: 2 - 3 times that of aspirin
Can undergo hydroxylation via CYP3A4, 1A2
Can undergo gluc
Nabumetone
pro drug - oxidatively cleaved side chain giving acetic acid derivative
Long acting, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic
Strucuture helps with GI issues
Can undergo hydroxylation and reduction (both inactive)
t 1/2 = 24 hours
More preferential for COX 2 (still non selective)
Heteroarylacetic Acids
General Characteristics
derivatives of acetic acid
heterocycle substituent at position 2
Include: indomethacin, sulindac, tolmetin, ketorolac
Indomethacin
potency: 25-50 mg. 10-20X more potent than aspirin
Prefers COX 1, not COX 2
Capable of rotation
susceptible to amide hydrolysis
Rapidly and extensively abs
t 1/2 = 4.5 hr
Has analgesic activity
has resemblance to 5HT which produces more CNS side effects. It worsesn parkisons, epilepsy, and psychiatric conditions
GI ADR: irritation, prolonged bleed time because of its lack of preference for COX 2
Metabolim: gluc, demethylation (looking like 5HT), and hydrolysis
Sulindac
Inactive when administered = pro drug
Requires reversible reduction to the sulfide to become active = capable of inhibiting COX
Potency: 5X that of aspirin
Ring hydroxylation does not occur because of F
Can be Gluc at the COOH
No rotation possible
Tolmetin
Potency: 2X that of aspirin
Highly PPB
Better tolerated than aspirin
metabolized by oxidation to a benzylic alcohol initially and eventually to the acid
metabolites are gluc and eliminated

ketorolac
administered as a racemate
has chiral center
produce opioid like analgesia without the respiratory depression. No abuse potential. Has lesser anti-inflammatory effects as compared to it analgesic effects
More potent than indomethacin
Used for post-op pain
Not used for more than 5 days because of inc bleed risk and HSR
It is not selective in regards to COX
Etodolac
potency: 2X that of aspirin, 300 mg. S isomer is more potent
fairly selective COX 2 inhibitor. Has ratio of 0.16. Below one means more preference for COX 2.
