Inflammation Drugs Class/Mechanism Flashcards
Acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA, Aspirin)
Salicylate
acetyl salicylic acid irreversibly acetylates COX 1 and 2; metabolite salicylic acid reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2
Diflunisal
salicylate
difluorphenyl derivative of salicylic acid, which reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2
Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Para-amino phenol
reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX 1)
Indomethacin
Indole
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX1)
Sulindac
Indole
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (Favors COX 1)
Ibuprofen (Advil, motrin)
Proprionic acid derivative
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX 1)
Flurbiprofen
Proprionic acid derivative
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX 1)
Naproxen (Aleve)
Proprionic acid derivative
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX 1)
Oxaprozin
Proprionic acid derivative
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX 1)
Piroxicam
Enolic acid
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX 1)
Ketorolac
Heteroaryl acetic acids
Reversibly inhibits COX 1 and 2 (favors COX1)
Celocoxib (Celebrex)
COX 2 Inhibitor
Selectively inhibits COX 2 (10x, too bulky for COX 1 site)
Etoricoxib
COX 2 inhibitor
selectively inhibits COX 2 (100x, too bulky for COX 1 site)
