Test 2: lecture 27 NSAIDs Flashcards
what is a common side effect of COX inhibitors
GI intolerance- ulcers
what are some negative side effects of COX2 inhibition in humans
COX2 blocks prostacyclin, but not thromboxane
causes strokes from increased clot formation and vasoconstriction in humans
Does not happen in dogs
COX inhibition in the GI will cause
COX1
peptid ulcers
GI bleed
NSAIDs will do what to the kidneys
COX 1 and 2 make PGE2 and PGI1: vasodilation and increased NA and water excretion
Blocking
will cause Na/water retention
hypertension
hemodynamic AKI
NSAIDs and aspirin will do what to the cardiovascular system
can cause stroke and MI in humans by inhibiting PGI2 which causes inhibits platelet aggregation → form clots
and not inhibiting thromboxane in platelets
—is an irreversible covalent COX inhibitor
aspirin
aspirin is absorbed in the — and binds to — in the serum
stomach
albumin
will irreversibly inhibit COX1>COX2
therapeutic effect of aspirin
antiinflammatory cause it irreversibly inhibits COX 1+2 → inhibits PG synthesis (reduces pain and fever)
irrevesible COX1 inhibition in the platelets will also block thromboxane synthesis → inhibits platelet aggregation (thins the blood)
body needs to make new platelets to clot
why cant glucocorticoids inhibit platelet thromboxane synthesis?
platetes dont have nuclei
steroids need to get into nucleus and cause gene expression
salicylates — inhibit COX
competitively
reversible COX inhibitor
Some aspirin is converted to salicylic acid by esterases in tissues and blood
how is aspirin and salicylate metabolized
glucuronidation
Salicylate conjugates cleared via kidney
cats do not have UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes- therefore half life of aspirin is much higher 37 hr
why is half life of aspirin in cats so high
Cats do not have UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes
can not metabolize aspirin and salicylate acid
adverse effects of aspirin and salicylates
GI issues= ulcers
aspirin is a COX-1 inhibitor → decrease bicarb and mucous secretion in the stomach
can try to counteract this effect by giving buffered aspirin with pH 3.5 or greater
ibuprofen is a — inhibitor and is toxic to —
COX- slightly more selective for COX 2 in humans
Dogs (ulcers, kidney failure)
NSAID: Phenylproprionic acid- competitive reversible inhibitor of COX, compete with aspirin for plasma protein binding sites
naproxen is an inhibitor of —
COX 1 = COX2
can cause enhanced ulcerogenic potential in dogs
-prolonged enterohepatic recycling: dog half life 74 hrs, horse half life 5 hrs
NSAID: Phenylproprionic acid- competitive reversible inhibitor of COX, compete with aspirin for plasma protein binding sites
what are some NSAID: Phenylproprionic acids
naproxen
iburprofen
carprofen (rimadyl)
Etodalac
adverse reactions of NSAID: Phenylproprionic acids
- gastrointestinal toxicities (esp. dogs)
- possible nephrotoxicity
- nausea
- peripheral edema
Ibuprofen, naproxen, carprofen- competitive, reversible inhibitors of COX
how does carprofen (rimadyl) work
NSAID: Phenylproprionic acid
selective for COX-2 in dogs
inhibits COX-1 slightly
metabolized in the liver
used for Pain relief, joint pain, post- surgical inflammation
adverse effects of carprofen (rimadyl)
GI intolerance / ulceration
Nausea, appetite loss, vomiting, diarrhea (0.1% dogs)
Hepatopathy (1 in 5000 dogs)- in first 3 weeks
should not be given to patients with pre-existing liver, kidney disease or GI
ulcerations
— is similar to carprofen(rimadyl) and is used for managment of chronic OA
etodolac (etogesic)
Metabolized in liver
Side effects: GI ulceration
cox2 selective inhibitors in human medicine can cause
stroke and heart attack- from clot formation
NO COX2 receptors in platelets: Can not block Thromboxane in platelets → vasoconstiction and platelate formation
blocking COX2→ blocks PGI2 which prevents clot formation
both actions increase clot formations in different ways
Valdecoxib (Bextra)
Rofecoxib (Vioxx)
— are slightly COX2 selective inhibitors in vet medicine
Carprofen (Rimadyl)
Etodolac (Etogesic)
