Aspirin
Aspirin
Salicylate
NSAIDs
Ibuprofen
Naproxen
Acetaminophen
Celecoxib
GI protective
Misoprostol
NSAIDs treat :
SYMPTOMS only
NSAIDS block
Cyclooxygenase pathway to make prostaglandins
Eicosanoids
*bind to receptors on cell membrane
*From AA (omega6)
Prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes
*short half life
COX -1
COX- 2
What can be liberated during stress?
EPA, AA
PGE2 does…
TXA2 does
* Vasoconstriction/Bronchoconstriction
Arachidonic Acid Pathway
Stimulus –> phospholipase A2 –> Phospholipids –> arachidonic acid –> Eicosanoids
Phospholipase A2
Key step in inflammatory pathway
Phospholipase A2 –> hydrolyze fatty acids in cell membrane INNER layer
Prostanoids
how synthesized?
From isomerases/transferases
PGI2
NSAIDs inhibit Cox 1 + 2
Aspirin
Ibuprofen
Naproxen
Piroxicam
NSAIDs inhibit COX-2
Celecoxib (CV risk)
*Less GI toxicity
NSAID
Excretion?
Renal
NSAID
Type of inhibition
*Reversible competitive inhibitor of Cox 1 + 2
(Not like aspirin!-irreversible)
*inhibit prostaglandin synthesis
NSAIDs
Tx effects
Low dose -
High dose -
Anti inflammatory dose
Ibuprofen - 400-800mg 6-8hr
Aspirin - 4-5g per day
How possibly can Nsaid protect from cancer?
Cox-2 inhibition, stopping constant inflammation
NSAID
S.E.
NSAID drug interactions
* NO w/ ace inhibitor
