NSAIDS Flashcards
1
Q
biosyn of prostaglandins
A
- cell membrane phospholipids
- phospholipase A2 (PLA2)
- AA
- Cyclooxygenase (COX)
- prostaglandin (PG) H2
- tissue-specific isomerases
2
Q
tissue specific isomerases- uterus, GI, renal a, BVs, platelets, CT
A
- uterus- PGF2alpha, PGE2
- GI- PGE2
- renal a- PGE2
- BVs- PGI2
- platelets- TxA2
- CT- PGE2
3
Q
excess of PGs in inflamed tissue causes what?
A
- heat
- redness
- swelling
- pain
4
Q
prostaglandins- effects on vasculature, CNS, PNS
A
- PGI2- vasodilation
- PGE2- permeability
- PGE2 in CNS- Temp (Fever)
- PGE2 in PNS- pain sensitization
5
Q
aspirin and salicylate- anti-infl effects at?
A
higher doses (2-3 g/day)
- aspirin metabolized to salicylate by liver
- high dose ASA- pro-drug for anti-infl doses of salicylate
6
Q
aspirin and salicylate- toxicities
A
COX-indep:
- acid-base disturbance
- tinnitus
- hypersensitivity
- Reye’s syndrome
7
Q
aspirin and salicylate- 6-20 g- toxicity
A
- early- resp alkalosis
- later- metabolic acidosis
- fever, dehydratino
8
Q
progression of aspirin/salicylate toxicity
A
- salicylates uncouple mitochondrial ox phos in CNS
- resp center registers dec in ATP fas hypoxemia- responds with hyperventilation
- hyperventilation blows off CO2- causes resp alkalosis- prompts kidney to deplete bicarbonate
- organic acids accum b/c ATP is no longer generated thru Krebs cycle
- metabolic acidosis- life-threatening
9
Q
Aspirin- contraindications
A
Fever in children/adolescents!!!
- anyone < 19 yo with a fever- risk of Reye’s syndrome!!!
- alternative- acetaminophen
10
Q
traditional NSAIDs- drugs
A
- Ibuprofen
- Indomethacin
- Naproxen
- Diclofenac
11
Q
Coxibs- drugs
A
-Celecoxib
12
Q
Salicylates- drugs
A
- Salicylate
- Aspirin
- Diflunisal
13
Q
NSAIDS- moa
A
- inhibit COX- inhibit prostaglandin syn- reduce local edema, vascular permeability (swelling), and pain
- anti-infl, analgesic, and anti-pyretic
14
Q
COX-1 and 2- similarities
A
- use same substrates (AA)
- make same products (PGs)
- role in infl
- role in renal fxn
15
Q
COX-1
A
- constitutive- in all tissues
- PROMINENT role responding to physiological stimuli
- also has a role in responding to pathological stimuli that release AA from cells
