Lecture 6: Non-opioid Analgesics Flashcards
How does histamine affect vasodilation, vascular permeability, chemotaxis and pain
Does vasodilation and increases vascular permeability
No chemotaxis or pain
How does serotonin affect vasodilation, vascular permeability, chemotaxis, pain
Maybe does vasodilation, increases vascular permeability
No chemotaxis and pain
How does bradykinin affect vasodilation, vascular permeability, chemotaxis and pain
Causes vasodilation, increases vascular permeability and pain
Does not cause chemotaxis
How do prostaglandins affect vasodilation, vascular permeability, chemotaxis and pain
Does all them
How do leukotrienes affect vasodilation, vascular permeability, chemotaxis and pain
Increases vascular permeability, and chemotaxis
No vasodilation or pain
What two pathways produce arachidonate
- Phospholipids via PLA2
- Diacylglycerols via D2 lipase
What is causes arachidonate acid to form prostaglandins
Cox-1 and 2
What 3 products result from prostaglandin production
- Prostanoids
- Other prostaglandins
- Thromboxanes (platelet aggregation)
T or F: Cox 1 is conditionally expressed, inducible
False, COX-1 is always expressed
What is COX-1 important for
Maintenance of normal physiology like mucous secretion and control over vasoconstriction of renal artery—> results in vasodilation in order to keep BF to kidneys up
T or F: COX-2 is conditionally expressed
True
COX-2 is produced in response to what
Cytokines, tumor promoters, and growth factors
COX-2 generates a ___inflammatory feedback loop
Positive
Inflammation—> increase PG—> increase leukotrienes—> increase cytokines—> increase COX-2 and repeat
What are the physiological effects of acetaminophen for COX inhibition
Analgesia and anti-pyretic
What are the physiological effects of aspirin for COX inhibition
Analgesia, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic
What are the physiological effects of NSAIDS for COX inhibition
Anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesia
What drug is occasionally added in for pain control in dogs and is highly toxic in cats
Acetaminophen
What is the investigational drug in saddle thrombi
Aspirin
What drugs may have minor and variable anti-thrombotic effects
NSAIDS
increased COX-2 specificity should reduce inflammation and also have less effects on the production of normal ____
Prostanoids needed for physiological function (mucus secretion and vasodilation of renal artery)
What conditions are the most common chronic labeled indications for use of NSAIDS
Musculoskeletal pain, inflammation and osteoarthritis
In OA NSAIDS target inflammation primarily occurring in the ___ and also ___
Synovium, articular cartilage
How do NSAIDS work in OA
Reduce the production of PGE2 by synovicytes and chondrocytes
PGE2 directly contributes to inducing ___ and promotes secretion of ___ that contribute to ____ leading to ___
apoptosis of chondrocytes
Promotes secretion of IL-1, NO, and TNFalpha that contribute to cartilage breakdown leading to synovitis and chondrocytes apoptosis
What are the big toxicities from NSAIDS
- Gastric ulcers (bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea)
- Hepatotoxic
- Nephrotoxic- acute renal failure, interstitial nephritis, glomerulonephropathy
- Bleeding- worse with nonspecific COX-2, sx concern and bleeding disorders
- Hypersensitivity reactions
What are some indications for ketoprofen
Labeled use for pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders in horses
What is the PD for ketoprofen
Nonspecific COX inhibitor
May also block leukotrienes synthesis
