NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) Flashcards
NSAIDS - definition
Non-steroidal drugs that prevent inflammation by **inhibiting COX enzymes**
NSAIDS- Mechanism of action
*picture* Inhibit prostaglandin synthesis
NSAIDS - Chemical classification - 2 groups
Carboxylic acids & Enolic acids
NSAIDS - name the carboxylic acids
Salicylates - Indoleacetic acids - Propionic acids - Antranillic acids
Salicylate NSAID
Acetylsalicylic acid
Endoleacetic acid NSAID
Etodolac
Propionic acid NSAIDS
Carprofen & Ketoprofen
Antranillic acid NSAIDS
Flunixin & tolfenami acid
NSAIDS - Enolic acids
Oxicams & Pyrazolones
Oxicam NSAID
Meloxicam
Pyrazolone NSAIDS
Phenylbutazone & dipyrone
NSAID classification by COX inhibition
COX-1 selective - Nonspecific COX - COX-2 preferential - COX-2 selective
COX-1 selective inhibitors
Acetylsalicylic acid
Nonspecific COX inhibitors
Flunixin, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone (PBZ)
COX-2 perferential inhibitors
Deracoxib, carprofen, meloxicam
COX-2 selective inhibitors
Firocoxib, robenacoxib
NSAIDS Absorption
PO or IM good
Which NSAIDS bind to feed?
PBZ, flunixin, meclofenamic acid
NSAIDS Distribution
Affected by inflammation - 95-99% plasma protein bound - Penetrate CNS but not into milk
NSAIDS Discuss distribution/movement in blood stream
Low volumes of distribution (0.1-0.3 L/kg) - Plasma protein extravasation - Drug displacement
NSAID Metabolism
Interspecies, interbreed, with-in breed differences - Phase I & II liver enzyme systems - Active metabolites
NSAIDS Beagle metabolism oddness
Beagle dogs expressing CYP2D15 metabolize celecoxib 3x faster than those not expressing it
NSAID Active metabolites
Acetylsalicylic acid–> salicylic acid // Phenylbutazone–>oxyphenbutazone
NSAID Elimination
Mainly urine (drug & metabolites) - Biliary excretion (enterohepatic recirculation -naproxen)
NSAID Elimination - extra note
Due to differences in metabolism and elimination, terminal half-lives vary greatly between species, breeds, individuals
NSAIDS chart on pharmacokinetics
Do not extrapolate dose rates & intervals from one species to another
NSAID - Therapeutic effects
Anti-inflammatory - Analgesic - Antipyretic (anti-fever) - Antithrombotic (anti-clots) - Antiendotoxic (? LPS, maybe)
NSAID Anti-inflammatory effects
Acute vs. chronic inflammation - Not as potent as corticosteroids, but DON’T delay epidermal wound healing
