Lecture 19: NSAIDs Flashcards
NSAID activity
-anti-inflammatory
-analgesic
-antipyretic
NSAID use
-treat pain, fever, inflammation
-treat early rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
-cancer prevention
NSAID mech of action
-inhibit COX
=inhibit prostaglandin synthesis
Classes of NSAIDs
-salicylates
-arylacetic acids
-arylpropionic acids
-non-carboxylate
-COX-2 selective
Side effects of NSAIDs
-GI tract
-blood coagulation
-renal
-hypersensitivity
-Reye’s syndrome
-CNS
GI effects of NSAIDs
-dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting
-blood loss, ulcer, hemorrhage
-aspirin ~ indomethacin > naproxen > sulindac
Mech of NSAIDs on GI tract
-acidity
-inhibit protective PGEs in mucosa
-inhibit aggregation (increased tendency to bleed)
Side effects of NSAIDs on blood coagulation (ASPIRIN)
-Aspririn prolongs bleeding time by IRREVERSIBLE inhibition og COX-1 and reduced formation of TXA2
-don’t use before surgery
-can prevent coagulation in CV disease
Renal side effects of NSAIDs
-renal failure in patients with CV, hepatic, and renal disease
NSAID hypersensitivity
-skin rashes, hives, angioedema, asthma-like syndrome
-blocked by 5-lipooxygenase inhibitors
-0.3% of population 10% in asthmatics
Reye’s Syndrome (NSAID effects)
-only from salicylates
-rare life threatening
-vomiting, delirium, coma
-brain damage
-occurs in children who have had flu or pox
-do NOT give to anyone under 12 w a fever
CNS side effects of NSAIDs
-tinnitus
-dizziness
-headache
Prevention of GI side effects
-misoprostol
-proton-pump inhibitors
-combo products
Misoprostol
-synthetic PGE1 analog
-used to prevent gastric ulcers in high risk patients
Proton-pump inhibitors (esomeprazole)
-reduce acid secretion
-protect against ulceration in absence of COX-1 activity
Combo products for GI effects
-Naproxen/esomeprazole
-Naproxen/misoprostol
-NDicolfenac/misoprostol
Drug interactions of NSAIDs
-may compete for serum albumin binding sites with other drugs
-ex: anticoagulants
NSAID intereaction with anticoagulants
-inc plasma concentration of free anticoagulant
-and its WORSE bc salicylates promote bleeding
-must lower the dose of anticoagulant
SAR of NSAIDs
-acidic group off the ring
-add a methyl group to that C to increase activity (ibuprofen)
-another area of lipophilicity (another ring or alkyl) inc activity
Salicylates
-salicyclic acid
-acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)
-salsalate
-diflunisal
