NSAIDS Flashcards
NSAIDs Funtion?
Treat inflammation, pain & fever
NSAIDS MOA?
Inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).
Cyclooxygenase is required to convert arachidonic acid into thromboxanes, prostaglandins, and prostacyclins.[9] The therapeutic effects of NSAIDs are attributed to the lack of these eicosanoids.
↓ production of prostaglandins → ↓inflammation, relieve pain,
↓fever
Inflammation process?
- Membrane Phospholipids.
- Phospholipase A2
- Arachnoic Acid
- Cyclooxygenase(COX)
- COX 1 & COX 2
COX-1 Function
- Increase GIT integrity/mucous lining(PGE2)
2.Promotes pain, inflammation and pain - Thromboxane(TXA2)-promotes clotting aggregation and thus increase in bleeding time
COX-1 Inhibition
Peptic Ulcers and GI Bleeding
COX-2 Function?
- Promote pain, fever and inflammation
- Increased in synovial fluid
- Reduces platelet aggregation
COX and prostaglandins ?
COX-1: Prostaglandins E29(PGE2)
COX-2:Prostacyclin(PGI2)
Classes of NSAIDs?
- Irreversible COX inhibitors (Aspirin)
- Reversible COX inhibitors (non‐aspirin NSAIDs):
A) Non‐selective COX inhibitors (e.g. Ibuprofen)
B) Selective COX‐2 inhibitors (e.g. Celecoxib)
Irreversible COX inhibitors drug?
Aspirin(acetylsalicylic acid; ASA)
Aspirin MOA?
*Irreversible inhibitor of COX‐1 & COX‐2
-Higher afffinity fro COX-1
*Taken orally
Aspirin MOA antiplatlet?
MOA (antiplatelet): (‐) COX‐1 in platelets → ↓producƟon of thromboxane
A2 (platelet acƟvator) → (‐) platelet production of new COX‐1; new
platelets → COX‐1 enzymes → ↑bleeding Ɵme (w/o affecting PT)
Aspirin is non-selective fro COX but which Cox does it have a higher affinity for?
COX-1
Aspirin MOA anti-inflammatory MOA?
MOA (anti‐inflammatory): in liver; metabolised into salicylate (anti‐
inflammatory; no antiplatelet effect); (‐) COX‐2 →↓prostaglandin
producƟon → ↓inflammaƟon, pain, fever.
Aspirin I?
I: headaches, musculoskeletal pain; short term Tx of chronic pain (e.g.
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)
Aspirin Doses and effects?
Dose‐dependent effects
Low doses: antiplatelet effect
High doses: Dose‐dependent effects (<300 mg/day, antiplatelet; 300‐2400 mg/day,
antipyretic & analgesic; >2400 mg/day, anti‐inflammatory) & analgesic; >2400 mg/day, anti‐inflammatory)
Aspirin CI?
aspirin‐associated hypersensitivity
bleeding GI ulcers
hemolytic
anemia
hemophilia
hemorrhoids,
Lactation
UC
asthma
chronic diarrhea
Aspirin AE?
ASPIRIN
Allergy like reactions
Susceptibility to bleeding
Peptic Ulcer
Idiosyncratic reactions
Reye’s Syndrome
rIing in ear(Tinititus)
Nephtopathy
NSAIDS CI?
BARS
Bleeding
Asthma
Renal Disease
Stomach(Peptic Ulcer)
Aspirin Kinetics?
M&E
Kinetics: A=80‐100%
D=90‐95% protein‐bound
M=liver
E=urine (80‐100%), sweat, saliva, feces
Effects of Inhibtion of NSAIDS?
5A’s
Analgesia
Antipyretic
Anti-inflammatory
Antithrombotic
Arteriosis
Non-selective COX-Inhibitors?
Reversible COX inhibitors admin?
Orally
Which Reversible COX inhibitors is taken rectaly?
indomethacin
Which Reversible COX inhibitors is taken as eye-drops only?
ketorolac(eye drops), phenazone(ear drops only)
Non‐selective COX inhibitors:
MOA?
Reversibly (‐) COX‐1 (→ ↓producƟon of thromboxane A2 → (‐)
platelet aggregation; transient) & COX‐2 (→↓prostaglandin producƟon →
↓inflammaƟon, pain, fever)
Ibuprofen I?
Analgesia, inflammation (high dose required for anti‐inflammatory
action), ductus arteriosus in premature new‐born infants (IV prep.)
Ibuprofen CI?
hypersensitivity to aspirin/other NSAIDs active peptic ulceration
pregnancy (3rd trim.)
proctitis/haemorrhoids (suppositories)
Ibuprofen AE?
epigastric pain, heartburn, dizziness, nausea, rash, tinnitus
Ibuprofen Kinetics?
A, D, M & E
Kinetics:
A=rapid (85%) reduced by food; bioav. 80‐100%; onset30‐60
min; duration4‐6 hr
D=90‐99% protein‐bound
M=rapidly in liver by
CYP2C9; CYP2C19 substrate, E= t 1/22‐4 hr (adults); 1.6 hr (child 0.25‐1 yr)
